Bayern München midfielder and Spain international Thiago Alcantara is reportedly eyeing a switch back to Barcelona this year.

According to Spanish newspaper El Mundo Deportivo, Thiago's father and agent, Mazinho, has told FC Barcelona that his son is considering a return to the Catalan club this year.

Pep Guardiola brought the 26-year-old to Allianz Arena in 2013, and while Thiago thrived under the Catalan manager, he is said to have grown increasingly unhappy at the club, especially since Jupp Heynckes came in as manager instead of Carlo Ancelotti earlier this season.

The injury-plagued midfielder has played 136 matches for Bayern and currently sits out with a muscle injury.
