A tweet posted by Sergi Roberto has resulted in suggestions that the Barcelona midfielder could be on the verge of joining Stoke City on loan.
The 22-year-old has featured sparingly in Luis Enrique's starting lineup this term, which had brought about reports that he could leave Camp Nou on a temporary deal next month.
A number of clubs are thought to be interested in signing the Barca youngster, but Stoke could now lead the way after he spent Monday evening watching the Potters take on Chelsea at the Britannia Stadium.
After the match, he posted a picture of himself on the social networking site alongside Stoke's former Barcelona duo Bojan and Marc Muniesa.
Nice to see you again @muniesa92 @BoKrkic 😃 ! #stokecity - #chelsea pic.twitter.com/ANIQPXOs7F
