Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has reportedly already approved a plan to bring Ilkay Gundogan back to the club from Barcelona this summer.
Gundogan is being linked with his former side after it emerged he could leave Barcelona before the transfer window closes after just one year at the club.
Barcelona need to make exits to register Dani Olmo, with Gundogan one of the highest earners in the squad.
Gundogan is said to have already contacted City about a move, and Fabrizio Romano is now reporting that Guardiola would welcome the midfielder back.
