Manchester United are reportedly considering launching a £20m bid for Barcelona defender Gerard Pique in the January transfer window.
The 27-year-old, who spent four years of his senior career at Old Trafford before moving to the Camp Nou in 2008, has struggled for regular game time under Barca coach Luis Enrique.
According to the Daily Star, United are confident that they can convince Pique to return to the England with a bumper salary and the offer of regular first-team football.
Earlier this month, Pique insisted that he wants to stay at Barcelona, but admitted that "you never know what the future holds".
Pique has made just five La Liga appearances for Barca so far this season.
