Barcelona go official denying pursuit of Arsenal ace Cesc
Barcelona deny they've attempted to strike terms with Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas.
Spanish radio reports on Wednesday morning claimed that the star midfielder had agreed a deal to join the reigning European champions this summer.
But the Catalan giants have moved swiftly to deny those reports, and say they've had no contract with Fabregas.
A statement on the club's official website said: "Given the exceptional repercussions created by the stories that have appeared in different media with respect to an agreement with Arsenal FC player Cesc Fàbregas, FCB flatly denies that there have been any negotiations or agreements with the player.
"In accordance with FIFA regulations, FC Barcelona's contract policy has always made it a priority to negotiate with the club of origin before making any particular agreement with the player.
"FC Barcelona wishes to stress that it has always maintained excellent institutional relations with Arsenal FC."

To be absolutely honest, they're fast becoming like their own rivals, Real Madrid. Enough said
I used to 've respect on this club(Barca) but it appears they are fastly eroding the reputations they built. It is beta that they denied the rumour. To u all Fab is not 4 sale. GUNNERS 4 LIFE
The blame lies solely on Mr Arsenal himself ..Mr Arsene Wenger had many chances to rectify the problem at Arsenal but chooses to do nothing. Barcelona would not have succeeded in bringing Fab to Nou Camp if Wenger had played his cards right. Now..it seems...once again the owners of arsenal will reap the benefit of the fallout by cashing in on their most valuable player. This is very disgusting.
