The Austrian international has been on Barcelona's wishlist for years

Bayern Munich's Austrian defender David Alba is once again back on Barcelona's agenda, according to a report in German outlet Bild. 

It's claimed the Catalan club, long-time admirers of the versatile Alba, have reignited their interest in bringing him to Camp Nou this summer. 

Alaba is out of contract in 2021 and has not shown a huge desire to renew in Munich, with reports now saying he's ready for a new challenge. 

Barça asked Bayern about Alaba last summer as they sought competition for Jordi Alba. They eventually signed Junior Firpo but Alaba, who can also play at centre-back or in midfield, remains well-liked bu the club's decision-makers. 

Alaba has been at Bayern since 2010 but, after a decade with a club, his contract situation puts him in a strong position if he decides to push for an exit at the end of the season.
