Luis Enrique: Barcelona could buy Denis Suarez back

Luis Enrique has admitted that Barcelona are weighing up a move to bring Denis Suarez back to Camp Nou from Villarreal.

Having spent last season on loan at Sevilla, Suarez joined Villarreal in August on a four-year deal, although Barcelona retain a buyback option to re-sign him either at the end of this season or in 2017.

Barca also have first refusal on the 21-year-old and Luis Enrique says the forward remains an option while acknowledging members of his squad may leave in January.

"I think I've seen him play well, he played with Sevilla but could have played more there," explained the Barca boss.

"He looks good and is playing well and could be an option for us.

"It's possible that players will leave but it will be based on reinforcing the team. We're looking at everything, the window hasn't opened but you always have to think about improving the team.

"That means not just players coming in but also players leaving."

Barca return to La Liga action on Wednesday against Real Betis following a successful Club World Cup campaign in Japan.

The coach says he is not worried about his players suffering from fatigue as he prepares to hand Aleix Vidal and Arda Turan debuts in 2016, with the pair unable to feature so far due to the Fifa sanctions relating to the signings of under-age players.

"We're in conditions like last year but we are getting players back", he continued. "They have to adapt but each case is special.

"Some have played more than others but there are lots of cases to look at and decisions to make.
