Alexander Hleb is set to return to Barcelona after his loan at Stuttgart, according to his agent.
The 29-year-old Belarus international signed for Barca in a big-money move two years ago, but last season he was sent out to spend the season on loan at Bundesliga outfit Stuttgart.
His loan has now come to an end and the former Arsenal man has plans to go back and prove himself at Camp Nou.
Hleb's agent Uli Ferber told COM Radio : "The normal thing would be that he came back to train with the team.
"His plans are to return to Barcelona. That's the situation. He is not thinking of leaving for another team."
Hleb is currently working with a personal trainer in Germany to build up his fitness after a recent operation to repair a broken nose.
He will be expected to report for pre-season training with Barcelona on
15th July.
