Barcelona has reportedly informed their midfielder Cesc Fabregas that they would listen to offers for him, which could result in Manchester United's proposed deal for the footballer to be back on.

Barca had reportedly refused to sell Fabregas to United last summer, despite the club making three different bids to sign the former Arsenal captain, which had been their number one priority then.

According to Metro.co.uk, United have been looking elsewhere for players since the deal collapsed, but it could be back on with Barca, who are said to be ready to part with their midfielder.

Barca has reportedly told Fabregas that he would be a part of a squad clear out this summer and if suitable offer arrives he can leave.

Speculations are that United have valued the Spain star at about 25 million-pounds and could now make a bid at the end of the season in the hopes of filling their creative midfield void, the report added.
