Barcelona have identified Juan Mata as a potential transfer target this summer, according to reports in the Spanish media.
The midfielder left Chelsea to move to Manchester United for a club-record fee earlier this year, scoring six goals for the Old Trafford side.
AS.com claims that Barcelona sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta and new manager Luis Enrique would be keen to sign the Spanish international, who turned down a move to the club in 2010.
Mata left his home country in 2011 to join Chelsea from Valencia.
