Arsenal playmaker Cesc Fabregas will make the move to Barcelona if the Gunners do not qualify for the Champions League group stage, but will definitely sign him next summer, according to a report. However with the Gunners now on the verge of making it into the draw for the group stages on August 27 in Monaco, Barca will have to wait until next summer to sign the Spain star, El Mundo Deportivo claims.

A fee of around £32 million has also been agreed upon.
