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.
seems like barcelona is intent in signing fabrega, bad news for arsenal.
arsenal might as well ask for messi in exchange of fabregas. if not messi, then xavi and iniesta.

different players/roles. but wenger always seems to fill empty slots well. rem, he got the wales player, ramsey coming thru, so fabregas's loss may not be so hard felt.
