Barcelona players call for Thiago Alcantara return?

Barcelona have reportedly been urged to re-sign midfielder Thiago Alcantara from Bayern Munich.

Thiago joined Barca as a 14-year-old and went on to make 101 appearances for the first team before being sold to Bayern in 2012.

Earlier this week, it was claimed that the Bundesliga champions were prepared to sell the playmaker during the summer transfer window and according to Sport, a return to Camp Nou is a possibility.

The report claims that a number of Barcelona players have called on president Josep Bartomeu to take the opportunity to bring the 27-year-old back to the La Liga giants.

Thiago would likely be keen on a second spell at Barcelona but it has been suggested that Bayern may look for a fee in the region of £70m.
