Former Albion head coach Oscar Garcia is wanted by current and potential bosses at Barcelona to play a role in the coaching set-up of the Spanish giants.

Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu has called an election this summer, a year ahead of schedule, to lift the “tension” engulfing the Nou Camp.

The current board are keen to involve Oscar and so are other contenders. He is weighing up his options, which also include offers to continue coaching abroad.

The ex-Seagulls, Watford and Maccabi Tel Aviv chief played for Barcelona before joining their youth coaching staff.
