Barcelona president Joan Laporta will decide in the spring about how much the European champions will offer Arsenal for Cesc Fabregas. Though Fabregas has continued to stress his commitment to the Gunners, Laporta has previously identified the midfielder as a 'special case'.
Laporta has again outlined his determination to sign the Arsenal captain next summer amid suggestions Barca will offer £40million for the 22-year-old.
"Cesc Fabregas is desired by us for many reasons," Laporta is quoted by The Sun. "Barcelona have decided to fight for the kid for next season.
"The money? This will be decided at the end of March to prepare for a deal.
"Cesc is such a big player. Our intention is to convince the Londoners about the sale.
"It won't be easy, but we have good relations with the Gunners."
