Arsenal will stick to their guns and demand £80million
as Real
Madrid set their sights on Cesc
Fabregas.
The staggering price tag scared off Barcelona when they tried to
pinch the Gunners skipper in the summer.
And Arsenal will hope it works again and are refusing to budge
on their valuation of Spain star Fabregas.
Real want the former Barcelona babe to join them as the marquee
signing for next season, with president Florentino Perez poised to
bankroll new stars.
They will go up to £55m – probably enough to see off rival
interest from Barca. But it’s not enough for Arsenal.
The Gunners want the same world record fee Manchester United got
for Cristiano Ronaldo – £80m in cash, with no instalments or player
swaps.
Real were ready to offer young Sergio Canales, the Spanish
wonder boy who signed only last summer but is ignored by Bernabeu
boss Jose Mourinho.

Just how much chance is there that Cesc Fabregas would move to
Real
Madrid? Really, no chance at all, surely. The
Arsenal captain clearly has strong ties to Barcelona and whilst it
may seem hard to fathom quite where the 23 year old would fit into
Pep Guardiola’s all conquering Nou Camp side, if he is to leave the
Emirates it will only be to the Catalan giants, no?
Well Jose Mourinho believes he may be able to persuade the
talented midfielder to move to the Bernabeu but if he is going to
convince the player he must also convince his club and it will take
a huge fee to do that, according to this source.
Clearly a transfer window does not pass with much speculation
that Cesc
Fabregas is to leave Arsenal and next summer will
be no different. Arsene Wenger will do all he can to keep his
mercurial skipper and the player himself has stated that he wants
to win things with the North London club before he even thinks
about leaving, but what if he does in fact help steer the club to a
Premier League of Champions League title, would he then consider
leaving?
Will Real Madrid consider offering £80m for Fabregas? Is he
worth that much and if they do make such an offer, would it be too
good for Wenger and co. to turn down?
Wenger is apparently looking to freshen up his squad and a
number of under-performing players are said to be on his list of
potential sales. Andrei Arshavin, Manuel Almunia, Denilson, Nicklas
Bendtner and Carlos Vela could all be on their way according to
some sources.
