Fabregas shuns Barca questions as Guardiola targets Man City ace Robinho
Cesc Fabregas has refused to answer questions about his future amid renewed Spanish press reports that Barcelona intend to sign him at the end of the season.
Leading sports paper El Mundo Deportivo says the Arsenal captain and Manchester City star Robinho are Barca's top two targets for 2010, building on reports in the Catalan press on Tuesday that the club were increasingly confident of capturing Fabregas.
The 22-year-old midfielder batted away questions from journalists inMadrid, where he has joined his national team ahead of Saturday's WorldCup qualifier in Armenia and next Wednesday's tie in Bosnia.
Uncertain future: Robinho
After scoring and kissing his badge during Arsenal's 6-2 victory overBlackburn at the weekend, Fabregas insisted his commitment to ArseneWenger's team should not be questioned.
And he would not be tricked into saying anything embarrassing at Madrid's Ciudad Deportiva de Las Rozas training ground, no matter how many times or ways the reporters asked.
'Now I can't even talk about Barca,' he said. 'We are in the middle of the season, I have a contract with Arsenal and I must complete that for my current team.
'Everything just started and I think only about the best for Arsenal. When the time comes we'll talk about the future.'
El Mundo Deportivo says an agreement has been reached with Fabregas's agent and a transfer next summer is only subject to a fee being agreed with Arsenal.
The murmurs in Spain are that Arsene Wenger could not block the path of his star's return to Barcelona, where he trained as a youth, if Arsenal again finish the season without a trophy.
Barca president Joan Laporta, who cannot stand for re-election in the summer, is apparently keen to tie up the deal before the end of the tenure, so that it does not become an election issue.
The businessman knows that Sandro Rosell, his former deputywho quit after a disagreement, will claim to be best placed to captureFabregas in the summer, but Laporta would prefer a successor fromwithin the club.
The re-emergance of Robinho as a target comes at a time when the Brazilian's future at Eastlands has been brought into question.
City boss Mark Hughes deployed Craig Bellamy on the left against West Ham United on Monday night and sees the Wales international as a key player among his many strikers.
Barca made enquiries about adding 25-year-old Robinho to Pep Guardiola's squad towards the end of the summer transfer window. A frantic search for a left-sided player that went unresolved.
