It would be "great for the club" to bring Pep Guardiola "back home" to Barcelona one day, according to clubpresident Josep Maria Bartomeu.
Guardiola, who was born in Catalonia, has previously enjoyed huge success at the Camp Nou.
He graduated from the Barcelona youth academy in 1990 and won 14 major honours in 11 years in the senior setup.
Guardiola returned to the club in 2007 as Barcelona B coach and then replaced Frank Rijkaard as Blaugrana boss in 2008. He subsequently led Barca to three La Liga titles and two UEFA Champions Leagues in a four-year tenure.
