Barcelona Battle Manchester United Fabagas Bid
Barcelona are trying to keep Cesc Fabagas out of Manchester United's clutches by insisting he does not want to join them. New Old Trafford boss David Moyes offered the Spanish giants £26million for the former Arsenal skipper,26,on Monday. If that is turned down, the Premier League champions are ready to break their own £3.75million transfer record to land him.
Manchester United believe Fabagas is willing to join them if Barcelona want to sell. But Barcelona coach Tito Villanova said last night: " I know he has received offers from other teams but Fabagas has told me it is his dream to stay.
"He doesn't want to go to other teams for money or playing time. "He knows there is competition for places but he wants to stay." However, Manchester United are ready to top the £30.75million they paid Tottenham for Dimitar Berbatov in 2008. Arsenal have first refusal on Fabagas. But they are unlikely to activate their £25million buy-back clause for the Spanish midfielder if Barcelona decide to sell him.
