Barcelona have offered the general manager role at Camp Nou to club legend Carles Puyol after the job was recently vacated with the departure of Pep Segura.
Puyol, who won 18 trophies during his 15 years as a Barça player - many of them as captain – was previously assistant to former sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta upon his retirement in 2014, but resigned after just a few months when the ex-goalkeeper was sacked.
It has been reported that Eric Abidal was the favourite to replace Segura, with the Frenchman stepping up from his current role as technical secretary.
