Cesc Fabregas alerts Barcelona as star admits he'll decide on Arsenal future before the World Cup

Arsenal fans face an anxious wait after Cesc Fabregas revealed he is considering his future at the north London club, and would come to a decision before the start of the World Cup. The Spain star has long been linked with a move back to Barcelona, where he was a youth player before moving to the Gunners, but Arsene Wenger has continually denied his skipper would be leaving. But Fabregas has now openly admitted a cloud hangs over his future. The midfielder also again reiterated that if he were to leave Arsenal the only destination he would consider would be the Nou Camp. On his way? Fabregas thanks the Emirates crowd at the end of Arsenal's season The World Cup kicks off on June 11, while Spain get their campaign underway against Switzerland on June 16. Despite missing the end of the domestic season with a broken leg - suffered, ironically, against Barcelona - Fabregas has been named in his country's provisional 30-man squad for the tournament. 'If I decide to leave Arsenal, it will be to wear the shirt of Barcelona. I don't know when this will happen though. I'm very happy at Arsenal. I'm in no hurry to leave the club,' Fabregas told Spanish newspaper Marca. Deadline: Fabregas wants closure before the World Cup begins on June 11 'I want to make a decision about my future before the start of the World Cup. It's impossible to perform at a tournament like the World Cup if you're not fully focused on the sporting aspects of the game. I don't want to be distracted by transfer talk.' Barcelona are due to hold presidential elections this summer, where prospective candidates promise stellar signings to promote their bid for power. Local boy Fabregas would be a hugely popular arrival at the Nou Camp due to his links with the club, meaning a huge offer could soon arrive on Wenger's doorstep.   Fabregas, however, also stated that no prospective presidents had been in touch about a transfer and played down any talk of a move while Barcelona battle it out with Real Madrid for the Spanish title. The final fixtures in La Liga will be played this weekend. 'Barcelona are still playing for the Liga title and I'm still an Arsenal player. It would be a lack of respect to discuss a transfer now,' he added. 'No candidates for the Barcelona presidency have approached me, so I don't feel used.'  Gallas won't hold Arsenal to ransom!
