Barcelona’s devastating 8-2 defeat to Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals of the Champions League allegedly took an immense toll on the captain, whose current contract at the Camp Nou is due to expire next summer.
Manchester City and Inter Milan have both recently been rumoured to show interest, and it is believed that the former would be the favourites to sign him should he seek new grounds.
The 33-year-old scored 31 times and registered 26 assists in 44 appearances for Barca in 2019-20, but he only managed three goals in the Champions League.
The 2019/20 Champions League season can be regarded as one of the club’s worst outing in the competition since 1992.
