Xavi expects Fabregas Barca switch
Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas will play alongside Spanish team-mate Xavi for Barcelona next season, according to the Catalan star.[LNB] Xavi says he expects Fabregas, who is being heavily linked with a switch to his former club, to link-up with him at Camp Nou.[LNB]The Arsenal captain would almost certainly have already made the move to Spain had it not been for the Gunners' determination to keep hold of their midfield lynchpin.[LNB]But manager Arsene Wenger is reportedly willing to open talks over a transfer in a bid to raise funds for Bordeaux star Yoann Gourcuff.[LNB]Gourcuff could be the man to replace Fabregas should he exit the Emirates this summer and Xavi is confident his Spanish compatriot will be joining him in Pep Guardiola's side.[LNB]"Yes, certainly," said Xavi in Sport when asked if he expected to play alongside Fabregas next season. "And it also had to be like this.[LNB]"Two years I said Cesc would end up playing for Barcelona and now I have it more clear than ever.[LNB]"He has also expressed publicly that he wants to come to Barcelona and when a player wants to move to some place he ends up going.[LNB]"It is clear that Cesc will come to Barcelona."
