Arsenal are ready to make Cesc Fabregas the highest paid player at the club to ward off Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Despite having three years to run on his current contract, the Gunners board will sanction a £120,000-a-week deal to ensure the 22-year-old Spaniard stays at The Emirates, says the Sunday Mirror.
Arsenal hope the lure of a £30million contract will ensure Fabregas rejects overtures from Barcelona and Real Madrid.
