Hector Bellerin is undecided over whether to pursue a move back to Barcelona from Arsenal, according to Spain Under-21 team-mate Denis Suarez.
Bellerin has long been linked with a move to Camp Nou, having progressed through the club s youth system before joining Arsenal in 2011.
The 22-year-old signed a six-year contract extension last November, but right-back remains a key position for new Barca boss Ernesto Valverde to strengthen after the club failed to bring in a replacement for Dani Alves last term.
Suarez returned to Barcelona last close season after an impressive stint at Villarreal and he hopes Bellerin will follow suit.
I have spoken with him and, on the one hand he s keen to come and on the other he feels tied to Arsenal, Suarez told Catalunya Radio, as quoted by Mundo Deportivo.
I hope he can come. He, himself, is not even clear what will happen this summer.
Bellerin and Suarez are part of Spain s squad for the European Under-21 Championship that starts in Poland this week.
