A report claims that Aleix Vidal is interested in leaving Barcelona in the January transfer window.

Aleix Vidal is reportedly open to leaving Barcelona in the January transfer window.

The Spaniard moved to Camp Nou from Sevilla in the summer of 2015, but was not cleared to make his official debut until the start of 2016 due to the club's transfer ban.

The 27-year-old did make 14 appearances in the second half of last season, but he has been left out of Luis Enrique's last five squads and is reportedly not in the boss's plans.

According to reports in Spain, Barcelona are not actively looking to sell the right-sided player, although Vidal could push for a move at the start of 2017 if he remains out of favour under Enrique.

Last weekend, Enrique insisted that Vidal's situation 'could change' despite his lack of appearances this term.
