Real Madrid new favourites for Arsenal captain Cesc

Real Madrid are new favourites for Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas.

The Sun says Arsenal are ready to reluctantly sell Fabregas this summer.

Manager Arsene Wenger will want £35m for a player who cost £500,000 from the Barcelona youth academy in 2003.

And that is an asking price which could destroy Fabregas' dream move.

Barcelona are reluctant to increase last year's bid for a player who would not be an automatic starter.

But despite interest from Spanish rivals Real Madrid, Fabregas has set his heart on returning to his home club.
