I read a few days ago that he’s planning in the future to come back to Barcelona and maybe take care of La Masia,” Bartomeu, in an interview with The Times of London said.
“I think it’s good news for our club that he could do that one day. “He knows the door is always open for him. Even when he told us he wanted to leave in 2012, we suggested to him he could take care of La Masia. He preferred (a clean break). Nobody told him to leave Barcelona. He could come back in future. He knows this. Why not?”
