In the Spanish press, rumors have spread that Barcelona's center-back Thomas Vermaelen, who has been with the club since the summer, may return to the English Premier League in January. According to Mundo Deportivo, the 29-year-old footballer is of interest to London's Arsenal and Manchester United, both of whom would like to loan the Belgian until the end of the season. Vermaelen moved to Catalonia last summer for 18 million euros precisely from Arsenal, coached by Arsene Wenger, but due to injury, he did not play a single match in Spain. However, by the new year, the Belgian should recover and be of interest to both Man Utd and Arsenal. Vermaelen played for the Gunners for five seasons and during that time managed to play in 150 matches.
