Former Barcelona no.1 goalkeeper, Victor Valdes, is set to return to the club.
The 37-year-old will be drafted into the Blaugrana’s coaching team.
Valdes, who is a product of the famed La Masia academy system, spent 12 years as part of the first-team set-up at Barca between 2002 and 2014.
He made 535 appearances for the club, collecting an enviable haul of major honours along the way.
Barca president Josep Maria Bartomeu has now revealed that Valdes is returning to the Nou Camp, telling reporters: “I spoke with Victor a few days ago on the phone and he said ‘Presi, don’t you think it’s time for me to come back to Barcelona?’.
“I have followed him [during] this successful year, he’s done very well as a head coach.
“I said to him that he should leave me for a few days to see what we can offer, and we’ll see him [in person].
“I am delighted that he will be returning.”
