Gunners prepared to dig in over Fabregas
Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood has warned Barcelona that the Gunners have "no intention" of selling captain Cesc Fabregas this summer.[LNB] The Spanish midfielder is reported to have told the Gunners that he wants to rejoin boyhood idols Barcelona this summer.[LNB]However, Hill-Wood insists Barca would be wasting their time in moving for the Gunners talisman and he told the Daily Star: "We are not remotely interested in selling him." [LNB]It is claimed that the creative midfielder has already informed Arsene Wenger of his wishes and hopes the French coach will grant him the opportunity to seal a dream move to Camp Nou.[LNB]Fabregas began his career in the youth ranks at Barcelona, before being snapped up by Arsenal while still in his teens.[LNB]He quickly progressed into the first-time fold with the Gunners and has been a regular part of Wenger's plans for the last six years.[LNB]Speculation regarding a return his roots has been building for some time, though, with the 23-year-old admitting he would relish the opportunity to turn out for Barcelona at some stage.[LNB]It appears that time has come, with Fabregas revealing that the prospect of winning major trophies in Catalunya would be too good to turn down should Barca make their move.[LNB]Having opened the door to Pep Guardiola's side, it is expected to be only a matter of time before Arsenal's resolve is tested with a big money bid.[LNB]For now, though, the Gunners maintain that they have no desire to listen to offers for their skipper, with Hill-Wood attempting to reassure the club's supporters by insisting that Fabregas is not for sale.
