Gerard Pique says Barcelona must play the long game in order to prise Cesc Fabregas away from Arsenal.
Pique, whose own move back to Barcelona from Manchester United three years ago has paid off in quite astonishing fashion, believes the deal should be allowed to run its course.
"All signings have their due process," said the Spain defender.
"Some are easy, some are more complicated.
"He is an important player for Arsenal so it is sensible that they are trying to keep him.
"There has been a lot of talk about this, which is normal.
"It is best to let the negotiations take their due course and see what happens."
