4 former La Masia players Barcelona are reportedly interested in re-signing

#1 Thiago Alcantara (Bayern Munich)

La Masia and in turn Barcelona is famed for producing highly technical midfielders who are magicians with the ball at their feet, possessing an uncanny ability to dictate the tempo of matches effortlessly and spot passes no one else can see.

Only a few players anywhere can claim to embody these traits as much as Thiago Alcantara, with the Spanish international being the quintessential definition of a Barcelona midfielder and having the 'Barca DNA' in his veins.

It says a lot about his abilities that when Pep was arriving Bayern Munich in 2013, he explicitly told the Germans to make Alcantara a priority signing.

Since then, the 26-year-old has gone on to cement his reputation as one of the best midfielders in the world, proving an integral part of both club and country.

It is no hidden secret that Ernesto Valverde is a big fan of Alcantara, having stated in the past that he considered him an ideal signing, while the dressing room also gave their approval for the transfer.

Alcantara re-signing for Barcelona would really be a return home for him, and on account of his statements in recent times, the reunion could be closer than ever.
