Transfer Rumors

Sky Sports News understands that Real Madrid could lodge a rival bid for Arsenal captain and long-term!!

The Spanish midfielder has been linked with a return to his homeland for some time, having progressed through the youth ranks at Barca before joining the Gunners at the start of his senior career.

A move back to Camp Nou had appeared the most likely scenario if Arsenal did decide to let the 24-year-old leave, but the two clubs have never been able to agree on a fee.

Reports surfaced last week that Barcelona had been in contact, but club president Sandro Rosell stated that he would not pay over the odds for Fabregas and actually valued the player as cheaper than 12 months ago.

Spain-based journalist Graham Hunter has now told Sky Sports News that Real Madrid have made an approach to Arsenal regarding Fabregas.

It is understood that Real value the player at €50million (£45m), which is far closer to Arsenal's asking price than Barcelona have reached.

Considering Fabregas' close links to Barca and the fact the two Spanish clubs are such fierce adversaries, it is unclear whether Real would be successful in luring the midfielder to the Santiago Bernabeu.

But he is a favourite of the board at Real and head coach Jose Mourinho, who wields substantial power over transfers, is also an admirer of Fabregas' qualities.

Madrid relied heavily on Xabi Alonso to influence matches in the centre of the field last season and view Fabregas as somebody who could make a big difference.

I think I am now in the acceptance phase.Now I am just resigned to the fact that Fab is going to come.

OFFERS BY BARÇA

Cesc: 29 + 6. Barça considers that Toral and Bellerín, the cadets that Wenger took to Arsenal, cost 6 million euros

Alexis: 26 + 11. The 11 million euros would be earned if Ligas and Champions are won and if the player is on the starter team at least in 50% of the matches.

haha me 2.. we have to accept it..

Cesc is WC i have always said it... but we DOn'T NEED HIM now..

We have Thiago.. maybe 2 seasons from would be better.. but it seems that ROsell & Guardiola has other plans .. let;s wait & see what will happen next season, before judging them ..

Barcelona left back defender Maxwell (29) could join English Premier League club Manchester City this summer. [as]

he deserve more imo.. I think considering his age 10M should be his value!!

`Larini (sports director Udinese):
"Many teams were interested in the player, but Sanchez said he wants to go to Barcelona."

"It's Sanchez' decision to stay with us or join Barcelona. We can only take note of that"

Depending on which players leave and join the club, B forward Jonathan Soriano (25) could stay and be promoted to the first team. [md]

What dou think? does he deserve a chance now (32 goals in segunda is not easy)? is it late (25 years old)?

Hmmmm, That is actually not a bad option to have now that I think about it. If he is that good, he could turn out to be another late "bloomer" like Pedro. I say give him a shot in the pre-season, and then make a decision. If he turns out like the player we need, then we don't have to waste money on a striker and then focus on what matters most: selling Gabi Milito and getting a better, younger defender.
Although, that would probably mean Fabregas is sure to come.

Vice-president Bartomeu has met in the past days with Udinese owner Pozzo at the isle of Formentera to discuss the transfer of Sanchez. Udinese will accept the 26M+11M variables bid for Alexis Sanchez if the amount of variables is lowered or their conditions are changed.
