Barcelona are convinced Arsenal will sell captain Cesc Fabregas this summer.
The Mirror says Gunners skipper Fabregas is due in Spain tomorrow as he jets out to Madrid for the launch of a new fragrance by fashion designer Angel Schlesser.
And Nou Camp sources are sniffing out the next steps towards the long-rumoured deal for Fabregas to go back to the club he left as a 16-year-old in 2003.
Fabregas is due to fly on to Barcelona, but that is for a holiday rather than talks over a transfer.
Yet with Arsene Wenger seemingly sending out mixed messages over Fabregas' future, and Barca determined to bring the deal to fruition, the European champions will make a big push over the next few days.
Nou Camp chiefs only value Fabregas at £35million, despite knowing that Arsenal will be reluctant to sanction any transfer for less than £50m.
Barca are, though, ready to offer the Gunners a choice of players from their youth ranks in a bid to sweeten the deal.
Manager Pep Guardiola is understood to be ready to put Spain Under-21 midfield orchestrator Thiago Alcantara, Andreu Fontas, defender Martin Montoya or Mexican Jonathan Dos Santos - younger brother of Spurs flop Giovani - in the mix.
