Andre Onana has not ruled out a return to Barcelona despite growing interest from both Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea.
Onana came through Barcelona's academy as a teenager but turned down the chance to re-sign for the Spanish giants last summer.
The 24-year-old Ajax goalkeeper is now said to be open to returning to his former club as his relationship with the president Josep Maria Bartomeu and coaches remains strong.
'It's hard to say because with FC Barcelona, I am still in very good relations with the president, the coaches,' Onana told Canal+ Afrique.
'As I said earlier, Barca is my home. If I have to go back, I will go back. But today we are still far from it. I'm the Ajax goalkeeper and we'll see what happens at the end of the season.
'I only take care of the ball game, what happens at the stadium. The rest are my agents who manage.'
Onana is contracted until June 2022 at Ajax but it's understood that the goalkeeper feels like he has reached the end of his time in Amsterdam.
Ajax want between £30-35million for Onana and it's believed the Dutch club would rather strike a deal with Barcelona, given the long-running connection between the two clubs.
Onana would have to compete with the Catalans' first choice keeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen for the No 1 shirt.
