Tottenham and Liverpool could be about to reignite their interest in Ibrahim Afellay after it was revealed that he is set to leave Barcelona on loan.
According to reports in Italy, Lazio are hoping to seal a deal to take the Dutch winger for the whole of next season, as he attempts to get his career back on track following a six-month injury lay-off.
Spurs and Liverpool both wanted to sign Afellay from Ajax before he joined Barca back in January 2011.
But he failed to establish himself at the club in his first nine months before the cruciate knee ligament injury struck last September.
Now a loan spell seems the most likely scenario, which could tempt a Premier League club to approach Barca this summer.
However, sources in Spain have suggested that unnamed English clubs have already been in touch with the reigning European champions about Afellay's availability this summer.
