Manchester City remain a threat for Barcelona and Real Madrid in their pursuit of Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas.
AS says the chances of Cesc returning to the Nou Camp are diminishing as Barca refuse to improve on their previous offer of €29 million made two weeks ago.
For his part, Cesc wants to return home, but Arsenal refuse to budge from their €45 million valuation for the Spain midfielder.
Continuing at Arsenal next season will prove difficult for Cesc given Barca's public play for the club captain and City's offer also remains on the table.
The Premier League rivals are prepared to pay Cesc a staggering €230,000-a-week to quit Arsenal.
