The former Bayern Munich and Liverpool player will take his previous role as midfielder under new coach Hansi Flick.

Catalan local football scene has been abuzz with excitement after hearing former player Thiago Alcantara is to return to Barcelona under coach Hansi Flick. Thiago spent two decades at Barcelona's La Masia academy, where he excelled and earned a spot in the first team.

After his departure from the team in 2009, Thiago joined Bayern Munich, with whom he won the Bundesliga title in each of his seven seasons, along with the Champions League in 2013 and the UEFA Super Cup in 2001. He was then picked up by Liverpool before joining Aston Villa in the English Premier League.

Thiago's return to Barcelona has a very sentimental value, as he expressed in a recent interview: "I was young, I was very young. I learned a lot in that period, not only football but about life itself. I always say that I would have liked to have stayed there longer, but I was very happy there."

He will now have the opportunity to take up his old role as a midfielder under the guidance of new coach Flick, who was instrumental in convincing the player to return.

It remains to be seen whether Thiago's return will help rebuild Barcelona's fortunes in the coming seasons.
