The father of World Cup winner Cesc Fabregas has played down an incident in which he was dressed in a Barcelona shirt by Spanish teammates Carles Puyol and Gerard Pique, both Barca players.
Francesc Fabregas believes that the incident meant nothing as it was purely a day of celebration and insists it does not mean his son is leaving Arsenal to return to the Nou Camp.
"It was a day of celebration and anything goes. If anyone misinterprets it, they have to see that it was part of a celebration," Fabregas Snr told COM Radio.
"Cesc has it very clear what Arsenal has been and is for him. He is super grateful to them and it has never crossed his mind to do something wrong towards them.
"Cesc said what he wanted to do (sign for Barca) the day after the end of the league so that Arsenal had time to react.
"It would have been nasty to say it today, when they are almost on the verge of starting the pre-season.
"But he always did so thinking about Arsenal. It remains to be seen how everything turns out."
