Barcelona have denied that there was ever an agreement between the club and Arsenal to not go after captain Cesc Fabregas.

The club's technical secretary Txiki Begiristain has moved to deny comments made by Gunners chairman Peter Hill-Wood in regards to Fabregas, saying that there was an agreement that the Catalan giants would not pursue the Spaniard this summer.

But Begiristain said that is not the case and if the club believe Fabregas is the right man to help them, they will attempt to sign him.

"If Barcelona think that he is necessary for the team, they will go for him, always respecting negotiations," he told AS.

"We have never said that we will not try to sign Cesc Fabregas. We will see what happens."
