Over the course of their careers, footballers generally tend to play for multiple clubs. If they are lucky, they can forge a strong relationship with fans and become a part of their folklore.When that happens, supporters are always happy to have their stars back, even when they are returning after a rough spell away.Today, we will speculate on stories of potential homecomings.Here, we will take a look at five players who could return to their old clubs in the summer of 2022:#5 Jordi Alba to ValenciaFC Barcelona v RCD Espanyol - La Liga SantanderOver the last decade, Jordi Alba has proven himself to be an integral part of Barcelona. His link-up play with Lionel Messi was out of the world and helped the Blaugrana unlock some of the most stubborn defenses.The 32-year-old, who is one of the captains of the team, can still produce important performances, but his impact has surely started to wane. He has become a lot more error-prone and often has a hard time keeping up with pacy dribblers.As per reports, Barcelona want to make a strong push for Erling Haaland in the summer and are prepared to sacrifice Alba for it. Additionally, Barca are reportedly eager to bring in young blood at left-back and have earmarked Valencia’s Jose Gaya for that role.Reshad Rahman ✆@ReshadRahman_ Sources close to Gaya say there is still a long way to go before we know ‘for certain’ whether or not he’ll end up renewing at Valencia. Barcelona has him as their #1 target to strengthen their left-back position. @ffpolo #Transfers 🦇7:47 AM · Feb 18, 202257614ℹ️ Sources close to Gaya say there is still a long way to go before we know ‘for certain’ whether or not he’ll end up renewing at Valencia. Barcelona has him as their #1 target to strengthen their left-back position. @ffpolo #Transfers 🦇If Barcelona push for Gaya in the summer, Alba could be used as a good bargaining chip. That way, the Catalonian outfit would get their man and Valencia would have their academy star back for one last dance.#4 Paul Pogba to JuventusBurnley v Manchester United - Premier LeagueManchester United star Paul Pogba is one of the best midfielders in the world right now.
