Catalan sports paper El Mundo Deportivo claims that Barcelona and Arsenal have closed an deal on the transfer of Arsenal midfielder and Spain international Cesc Fabregas (22).The agreement reportedly says that Cesc will join Barcelona this summer if Arsenal gets eliminated in the Champions League qualifying tie against Celtic Glasgow.
If Arsenal qualifies for the Champions League, Arsenal would sell Cesc to Barcelona next year for a fee between 30 and 35 million euros. The English club knows it's the dream of the Catalan player to return to Barcelona, doesn't want to obstruct his progress and would see the transfer as a reward for his services and dedication to the club over the past years.

Andréssibraviqué Said,
So you guys really believe that shit!?!
Arsene is certainly going to buy new players now that they are certainly going to qualify for Champions League. He only waited all the time to secure their position in CL, when he could be sure of the 30 million that comes for qualification & he's gonna wrap in some nice signings like vermaelen recently. Do you think Arsenal's scouting is as mediocre as ours!? NO
What if Arsenal do win some thing this year? Do you really think they would be ready to sell their best player? Do you really think Cesc would be willing to sacrifice his position as the best player of an elite European club after he gets to win a silverware!? Get a grip guys...
Now do not come bashing me saying I'm an anti-fan or a Madridista. I love Barca, but only I'm a LOT worried about our scouting :(

Andréssibraviqué Said,
And I hope that Mowbray ass hole shows some trust in our Crosas... Don't think the dude got to play even once after Tony took over as manager. Or is he injured lately?!? I wish he plays him in that second leg for qualifiers, I wish Crosas shows who's the boss to Cesc and that Merida f**ker. I wish Crosas gets back, he's attracted a LOT of nice reviews last year.

This is fair solution, we will have Cesc next year, there is no doubt, and asking price is not so high for that fantastic player. So, this in next days we have to sign to new players, and i think we will make it. I have some sense that we will get some fantastic player in next days

Even if they lost to Celtic- wouldn't Fabregas be cup-tied than? It's rethorical, BTW ;)

skanjos Said,
didnt cesc have a clause in his contract for 25mil next year?
i dont believe the crap el mundo deportivo is saying,its 100% that cesc is coming next season and 100% ribery goes to madrid.nothing new from the paper.the deal about cesc coming this year if they fail i dont believe that,thats rubish and they only say it cause arsenal won 0-2 .fabregas wont come this year end of story.he will next year with rosell a guy that knows the transfer market ......if he comes next season it will rossells deal not txikis.
there is no deal bettween the clubs and even stones can understand that.do those papers think we are idiots or sth,i dont get it...this news today if it were yesterdays before the arsenal game it would have some credibility but now it doesnt

barca4life Said,
So you believe a rumour that rosell has a deal for 25 mill but not a rumour that says the board just found a deal fo 30-35?
Suppose rosell does not win the election? Then what?

skanjos Said,
b4l i dont believe rosell has a deal for 25,but i asked if there is such a thing in his contract as we have heard this summer,
i said he will come next summer ,didnt mention a price
m8 its 90% rossel will be the next president,we dont even know any other candidate name now......

barca4life Said,
Laporta will be backing a candidate from the current board. If barca wins the League and CL double again Laporta's backing and board continuity may be worth much more than Rosell's name

Its gonna be Rossell vs Jaime Ferrer from the current board and I know who I will cast my vote for.

Maybe Rossell can do what he did again. For you newbee Barca fans, it wasn't a pretty sight. It reminded me of lazio....not as far as Leeds united but if he was still there i dont know. Oh yeah...remember the titles we didn't win.

farhad. Said,
could someone post the barca's lineup here please ? i can't seem to find the game's live commentary on the net.

ifotbol Said,
This is just another typical transfer rumor as some already pointed out. However there is no doubt that they will go after him next season as it is election year and the candidates need big names to win it.
Wenger knows this very well and will surely use that to increase Cesc price. I don't see them selling him for just the 35 million or so they claim. My guess is that Arsenal will not let him go for less than 40 million.
