The Catalan side has a buyback option on the 21-year-old and the coach revealed they could sign him from Villarreal in the near future.
Barcelona coach Luis Enrique says the Spanish champions are weighing up a move to bring Denis Suarez back to Camp Nou from Villarreal.
Having spent last season on loan at Sevilla, Suarez joined Villarreal in August on a four-year deal, although Barcelona retains a buyback option to re-sign him either at the end of this season or in 2017.
Barca also has first refusal on the 21-year-old and Luis Enrique acknowledged the forward remains an option while acknowledging members of his squad may leave in January.
