Vice President of Barcelona: Cesc Fabregas is worth 60 million

Barcelona vice-president Josep Maria Bartomeu has voiced his belief that Cesc Fabregas is worth at least €60 million and feels that the Catalans did a great piece of business to lure the Spain international to Camp Nou on the cheap.

"The transfer of Cesc was a very good deal for us. Normally his price wouldn't have been €29m, but he lowered his value by saying that he really wanted to go to Barcelona. His real price was what Arsenal initially asked. He's worth at least €60m in my opinion," Bartomeu told Sport.

"Transfer negotiations are like poker. Ideally, nothing is leaked to the press, but that seems to be impossible because of all the parties that are involved.

"The fact that we announced in advance that we would only spend €45m this summer worked to our advantage. Clubs were already well aware of our stance."

I can't express how stupid Barca are... Can't even leave Arsenal alone, even gloating about the price ffs

that would burn Arsenal fans

If Barcelona had some class the bashing wouldn't happen
I mean, Barca spent 3 years telling Arsenal he was worth 25mil, get the price they want and starts comparing the deal to poker and even saying they bought a player worth 60mil for 35mil
