Barcelona still making plays for Arsenal's Fabregas
Barcelona vice-president Alfons Godall is confident Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas will return to the Nou Camp at some point in the future.
The Spain international progressed through the youth ranks at Barcelona before moving to London in 2003.
Real Madrid are understood to be interested in snapping up Fabregas but Godall expects him to end up at Barca.
Reports suggest the Catalan giants are planning a £40million summer swoop for the Spain international.
Godall, who hopes to succeed Joan Laporta as president, believes that even if Fabregas does not make the move at the end of this season he will one day return to Barcelona.
"Sooner or later Cesc will end up coming back," Godall said in The Sun.
"We are a club that can sign players because we are respected and solvent."

Some shrewd new contracts past few months, Denilson so we can sell him (hopefully) for more money and more importantly a nee deal for Fabs pal Thomas....
I can't see us selling Fab, not to them Spanish *****, maybe Man C£ty for £100 million ;-)
I used to like Barca, but now I loathe the unsettling maggots!
I signed up with these guys - www.statesidetv.net
Best games are shown on Fox Soccer Channel and Setanta - got fed up with the lack of decent quality P2P streams that were 'here today and gone tomorrow'. I can also watch the Saturday afternoon Premier League games not shown in the UK. I have a SlingCatcher, so I can watch the stream on my 37"LCD TV at a very watchable resolution. Keeps the wife and son quiet too, she gets all her Lost and Desperate Housewives long before they are shown here and he gets all his MLB and NFL games. Saves me forking out for an ESPN/NASN subscription!
you don't get it cos you don't know football! the only reason Fab has became the player he is today is cos apart from his talent, he has had the chance to play 1st team since he was 16-17. the same goes for Rooney, Ronaldo, Gerard, giggs, Messi ... you name them ...
players who don't play regularly, don't progress. at barca he would never had that kind of chance. to them, a spot in their 1st team is worth more than a gamble in a player. that is why they sold him. trust me, had Beckham remained in MU, Ronaldo would never had the chance to play as regularly as he did and become the player he is now, nor would Fab had the chance had Viera stayed in Arsenal.
as for him leaving, i would leave judgement till end of the season. i think Fab wants to stay, but i think he wants titles as well. Arsenal sold smart this year. but if they are forced to sell players they want to keep again, i think Fab would really leave. note that Fab rosed thru the ranks at Arsenal and not Barca. it was AW who gave him the chance to be who he is. and unlike Ronaldo, i think he is more grateful than some certain brat.
