Arsenal captain Cesc breaks silence on Barcelona: Wenger talks were amazing

Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas has broken his silence over a proposed Barcelona move.

He has made no guarantees he would still be a Gunner and he is instead focusing on helping his country lift the World Cup in South Africa this summer.

Speaking from the Spanish training camp, Fabregas told Sky Sports News: "I will only say one thing, I have great respect for Arsene Wenger, for Arsenal football club and for the Arsenal fans.

"Sometimes not even in my house I feel more love than I felt at Arsenal.

"I had a long conversation with Arsene, it was probably the greatest conversation I've had with someone in my life and I respect him so much and I don't want to say too much about this.

"He told me to concentrate on my football, he told me to concentrate on the World Cup, he told me to leave it in his hands, he will deal with whatever happens in my future and that's what I'm doing, just concentrating on football.

"It's not up to me any more and it's just now about Arsenal and wherever it has to be and that's it.

"I don't want to say anything else, I just want to be focused for the World Cup because it is the most important thing - the rest is the future and I'm not interested in the future."
