Barcelona are desperate to tie up a deal to secure Arsenal's
Cesc Fabregas for next summer, and they are lining up a swap deal
that could see Yaya Toure and Bojan Krkic head to the
Emirates.
Blaugrana president Joan Laporta is stepping down next summer. He
wants to re-sign the Catalan midfielder, who would become a legacy
of the Laporta-era.
Ever since taking over in 2003, the Camp Nou supremo has been irked
by the Gunners' move to sign Fabregas from Barca's youth
system.
Though Arsenal have resisted the Blaugrana's approaches for some
time, the Spanish outfit's latest efforts could bear fruit,
according to The Daily Mail.
Toure will be offered for Cesc along with Bojan. The pair are both
unsettled at Barcelona, having seen their chances reduced this
season by the emergence of other stars.
While the Ivory Coast midfielder is coming second in his battle for
a place with Seydou Keita, Bojan has seen Pedro and Jeffren Suarez
compete for the wide positions in Pep Guardiola's squad.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger may favour the bid as he is
reportedly an admirer of both Barca players.
Real Madrid have also been linked with Fabregas. It is widely
believed that family pressure would mean a move to Barcelona would
be preferable for the playmaker.
