£36m deal for Cesc – but he pays
£4.5m out of his own pocket
CESC FABREGAS is on the brink of sealing his dream
move to Barcelona. But the Spanish midfielder will have to fork out
£4.5million from his own pocket to do it.
Arsenal are set to agree a £35.9m fee with
Barcelona - plus add-ons - should Fabregas win major tournaments.
But the fee also includes £900,000 a year which
Fabregas has agreed to pay Arsenal out of his own wages over the next five
years of his Barca contract.
All that remains is for Fabregas, 24, to thrash out
personal terms to bring to an end a three-year saga.
And last night he returned to the London Colney
training ground to clear out his locker.
The Gunners skipper has made no secret of his
desire to return to Barca, the team he left at 16.
Arsenal have been holding out for around £45m and
boss Arsene Wenger had vowed Fabregas would not be allowed to move.
However, it has become increasingly obvious keeping
him against his will would be a mistake.
Now Samir Nasri is expected to follow him out to
join Manchester City.
The French midfielder, 24, is in the final year of
his contract and, even though Wenger claimed he would let him run it down, the
Emirates bean counters were not happy.
City are prepared to pay Nasri £180,000-a-week
wages in a £25m swoop.
It is better for him to go if his heart no longer with the Gunners.
He already showed his eagerness to join his former club. Though
there he will claim his royalty and professionalism towards Gunners if the deal
collapsed, doubts will cast against his performance later. Applaud to him as no
rebellion acts demonstrated by him in order to have his transfer dream.
Just wonder where he will fit in Barcelona team which
already had proven tactical and players that suit their style. People said he
is in Xavi place. Yes the great Spanish player is 31 years old but he still had
it. He is still a great player with great vision and commanding figure. He had
few years more to go. I don’t think any manager will replace Xavi right now.
His partnership with Iniesta in the heart of midfield work marvelously for
Barcelona and Spain.
Buenas suerte Febregas
