Madrid sports tabloid Marca unconfirmedly claims that Arsenal midfielder and Spanish international Cesc Fàbregas (21) wants to join Barcelona next season.Cesc, who has been in Barcelona recovering from a knee injury that has left him sidelined since December, has met in the past weeks with several people linked with Barcelona and has told them that he very much would like to return in the summer.
The Catalan midfielder, who left the Barcelona youth academy in 2003, would like to join Barcelona because this would give him more chances to win trophies, especially the Champions League, and because he would like to team-up again with former team-mates like Lionel Messi and Thierry Henry.
The Barcelona board, that was thinking about a return for some time, has been informed about the wish of the player. The club is aware that the negotiations with Arsenal would be difficult and surely doesn't want to pay more than 20 million euro° for Cesc, because the fans wouldn't accept paying a big transfer fee for a former youth player.
Catalan sports paper Sport claims that Cesc, whose contract with Arsenal expires in 2014, wanted to assist a game at the Camp Nou during his recovery but decided not to go and see Barcelona because his presence could start speculations about his future.
