Sevilla are under no obligation to break from the two-year loan deal

Barca want Suarez back at the Nou Camp but Sevilla could block the move

Denis Suarez could complete an incredible journey from Manchester City reject to Barcelona first-teamer next season after Luis Enrique personally requested he be recalled from his loan spell at Sevilla and given a squad number at the Camp Nou.

Barcelona have to deal with the double-whammy next season of not having Xavi Hernandez and not being able to buy a new midfielder until January when their Fifa ban is finally lifted.

So having watched him closely out on loan last season Luis Enrique wants Suarez brought back into the fold.

Barcelona are keen to come to an agreement with Sevilla over the loan deal for Denis Suarez

Suarez impressed during his loan spell last season at Sevilla scoring six goals in 24 starts in La Liga

The 21-year-old was bought by Manchester City in 2011 for £850,000 from Celta Vigo’s youth team but he failed to do enough to convince them to keep him in England and in 2013 Barcelona bought him and put him in their B team.

Having been rejected by one of the biggest clubs in England it seemed he was suffering the same fate in Spain as he was shipped out to Sevilla last season but he scored six goals in 24 starts and Luis Enrique is convinced he is the perfect player to complete his squad of midfield players.

Ivan Rakitic and Andres Iniesta will start the big games next season either side of Sergi Busquets but with only Rafinha and Sergi Roberto in reserve the Barça coach wants more options and Suarez looks set to get his big break.

Barcelona’s only problem will be if Sevilla block the move. The loan deal between the two clubs is for two years and they are under no obligation to let Suarez go back one year early. They are confident of sweetening the deal by allowing Croatian Alen Halilovic to move to Sevilla in the other direction.

If the deal goes through and Suarez begins his pre-season training with Barcelona on July 13 Manchester City could start to wonder if they were hasty in selling Suarez for just €1.5m in 2013.
