According to Mundo Deportivo, FC Barcelona have reactivated their interest in the former Lyon star, with the Champions League side eager to sign a ‘powerhouse’ to strengthen the squad in the summer, although the La Liga giants are also looking at the likes of SSC Napoli’s Fabian Ruiz.

Which just 12 starts in the Premier League this season, Ndombele could well see himself out the exit door this window if Barcelona make an offer for the French youngster.
