Cesc, heading back to the Nou Camp?
Widespread reports in Spain this morning claim that Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas has come to a verbal agreement with Barcelona.
The transfer rumours over Fabregas leaving Arsenal in the summer have gone up a notch in Spain in recent days with suggestions that the central midfielder had rejected a new deal at the Emirates and that he was looking for a new house in Barcelona.
The latest reports suggest Fabregas has agreed a verbal agreement to return to Barcelona and now the Catalan club are preparing to deal with Arsenal to complete the summer deal.
Fabregas has reportedly agreed a five-year-deal at the Nou Camp and will earn 6.5 million euros a year, leaving him on a par with Barcelona stars Xavi , Andres Iniesta and Dani Alves .
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is desperate to keep Fabregas and has put a 35 million euro contract over five years on the table but the Spanish midfielder is disappointed at the lack of silverware during recent seasons.
If any deal goes through it is expected to be for 50 million euros. Fabregas’ agent, Darren Dein has though denied the move, telling Spanish newspaper Marca: "what information? That’s not true."
Barcelona president Joan Laporta is eager to seal the deal for the Arsenal captain before he leaves office at the end of the season.
