Barca building bridges with Fabregas
arcelona continue to track Cesc Fabregas and are looking to establish 'good relations' with Arsenal.[LNB] The Catalan giants have been chasing the Gunners skipper all summer, but are yet to see their efforts bear fruit.[LNB]One sizeable bid for the Spain international has already been knocked back, while Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has made it clear that he has no intention of doing business.[LNB]That has forced Barca to relax their stance slightly, with coach Pep Guardiola revealing on Monday that he does not expect an agreement to be reached.[LNB]The Primera Liga champions are prepared to bide their time, though, in order to get their man and are confident a deal could be struck in 2011.[LNB]For now, Barca are more concerned with building bridges with Arsenal, making negotiations between the clubs more amicable than they have been.[LNB]The hope is that by going about things in the right manner, Fabregas will be returning to his roots sooner rather than later.[LNB]"Relations exist," said Barcelona's sporting vice-president Josep Maria Bartolomeu.[LNB]"But we want them to be good. We are not in a phase of negotiation, only a phase of relationship building.[LNB]"Once we have done that, we will see if there is a chance to start negotiations to sign him."
