Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas is stunned by Barcelona’s waving of the white flag in their battle to sign him.
According to The Daily Mail, the Spain international midfielder has been left shocked by the news that Barcelona are considering shelving plans to bring him to the Nou Camp this summer.
He went out on a limb before Spain’s victorious World Cup campaign by informing Arsene Wenger on three separate occasions of his desire to return to his boyhood club during the current transfer window.
New Barca president Sandro Rosell declared they would be ending their pursuit of Cesc – for 12 months – yesterday after e held a conference call with Wenger and Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis this week where their determination to hold on to Spain international was once again made plain.
