Arsenal ace Cesc will resist Mourinho for Barcelona return

Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas will spurn any approach from Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid. El Mundo Deportivo says Cesc has his heart set on moving back to Barcelona this summer and even a personal plea from Mourinho to join him in Madrid will not change his mind.

Cesc is anxious to see his move to Nou Camp closed before the World Cup kicks off, but that prospect is now appearing slim.

Mourinho, determined to unsettle Barca, is keen for Real president Florentino Perez to inform Arsenal they will better any offer from their eternal rivals for Cesc - even if it's just to act as a spoiling tactic this summer.
