Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu has opened the door for midfielder Alex Song to leave the Camp Nou this summer.
The Catalan giants took the decision to allow Song to leave for the right price earlier this summer and he has piqued the interest of a number of clubs, including Chelsea, Manchester United, Inter, Liverpool and Napoli.
Song himself has admitted that were he to leave Barcelona he would be looking to return to the English Premier League, where he turned out with Arsenal before making the move to Spain in 2012.
Now Bartomeu has all but openly invited bids for the Cameroon international by promising to study any offers that arrive closely.
"When we see an opportunity and we see real interest, we will seriously study it", he was quoted as saying by El Mundo Deportivo when asked about Song.
