Barca swap deal mooted

Various press reports suggest that Barcelona are preparing a bid to take Pepe Reina back to the Nou Camp this summer.

Speculation has been mounting about Reina's future for several months, fuelled as far back as January when his father said: 'I am absolutely convinced Pepe would be more than delighted to return to his Barcelona. I would be delighted to see Pepe back at Barca, of course I would. What father would not like to see his son at Barca?"

Now talk has turned to a possible swap deal involving Barca winger Christian Tello, a player who drew serious interest from the Reds last summer before signing a new deal at Camp Nou.  Tello is not a regular in the Catalan's first eleven however and according to reports could choose to leave for pastures new this summer, with Brendan Rodgers one of a host of known admirers.
