Barcelona are no longer interested in pursuing a deal that would bring Thiago Alcantara back to the Nou Camp.
That's according to AS, who claim that Barca boss Xavi Hernandez has reservations about following up on his initial interest in Thiago, who played alongside him before the Spaniard hung up his boots.
