The 28-year-old has been heavily linked with a return to Sevilla in recent weeks.
He was snapped up by Barca officially in January 2016 following their transfer embargo.
But he’s struggled to settle and could how be packing his bags.
Sevilla's sporting director, Oscar Arias, has refused to rule out a raid for their former star.
“We're completely on top of the market," Arias told Radio Marca.
”[Vidal's] name has been coming up continuously since he left.
“It's not easy an return in terms of numbers, but we don't know what could happen."
Barcelona: Team average - 6.78 Marc-Andre ter Stegen - 7 Nelson Semedo - 7 Javier Mascherano - 7 Samuel Umtiti - 7 Jordi Alba - 7 Sergi Roberto - 7
“Lionel Messi has told Barcelona not to sell Aleix Vidal ”
Messi, however, is determined to not let him leave.
Barca could only manage a shock 0-0 draw with Olympiakos in Athens on Tuesday and have injuries mounting up.
Seven first-team players are currently carrying knocks out of a 24-man squad.
Messi, who is a hugely influential figure behind the scenes, doesn’t want to lose any more bodies through transfers.
Barca’s performances in La Liga haven’t been convincing either.
The Catalans defeated Athletic Bilbao at the San Mames Stadium on Saturday.
They secured a 2-0 win, but Barcelona huffed and puffed against the Basque-based side.
