Barcelona want Cesc to demand Arsenal transfer

Barcelona management know the only chance of prising Cesc Fabregas away from Arsenal this summer is if the midfielder demands a move.

Sport says Arsenal are willing to negotiate Cesc's sale from a starting point of £40 million, while Barca refuse to go higher than £25 million for the Gunners captain.

The impasse can be overcome if Cesc takes a leaf out of Xabi Alonso's book and demands a move from Arsenal. Barca are banking on the sales of Emmanuel Adebayor and Kolo Toure to Manchester City having unsettled Cesc.

If they were to land Cesc, Barca would be reuniting their youth team under coach Pep Guardiola, which would include the Arsenal captain, Lionel Messi, Gerard Pique and Victor Vazquez, all of whom came through the same junior team.
