According to British media, Jose Angel Sanchez, economic director, contacted the Gunners after Arsene Wenger said this week that there was no bid for the Spanish player. A Real Madrid source said: "The president Florentino Perez has identified Fabregas as the one signing above all others to hurt Barcelona. He believes signing Fabregas would be a real statement of intent for next season. He will do whatever is needed to put the club back above Barcelona".

In addition, the report said, Arsenal would have ensured to Real Madrid that will not sell Cesc to another Premier League team, so the only competitors today would be Bacelona, which in principle does not reach that figure as it goes against the economic austerity plan of the Catalonian club, and Milan, which interest has not yet been materialized.
Barcelona-born midfielder Fabregas, 24, had set his heart on a return to the Nou Camp after eight years in England, but the difficulty of playing in a champion team like Barcelona and its inability to reach a settlement offer to the claims of Arsenal, could change his mind and see Real Madrid as a great objective.
