Now fichajes.net is reporting that interest from the Old Lady has been revived, as they look to bolster their midfield options.

Such a deal may prove difficult, as Barca Coach Luis Enrique is said to value the importance of the player to his squad, and so instead the Turin-based outfit focus their attention on Axel Witsel instead.

At the moment, the player seems to prefer to stay put, but the signings of Denis Suarez and Andre Gomes may mean that playing time is limited and therefore the situation could change in January.
