Former Barcelona and Arsenal chief Raul Sanllehi has returned to football with Segunda Division Real Zaragoza.
Sanllehi is set to be named sporting director at Zaragoza after leaving Arsenal last season.
Sport says while the appointment is yet to be announced, Sanllehi has already been busy at work at Zaragoza for several weeks.
There's an expectation Sanllehi will be in contact with Barca about taking on youngsters for loan next season and also any talented B team players coming off contract.
Indeed, initial contact between Zaragoza and Barca has already kicked off as Sanllehi seeks to hit the ground running.
