Man City NOT chasing Fabregas

It is understood that Manchester City have no interest in siging Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas this summer.

The midfielder has been told that he is surplus to requirements at the Nou Camp, and rumours say that Barca want Atletico Madrid’s Koke to replace the Spaniard.

 

Manchester United and Chelsea are the clubs thought to be interested in Fabregas, but it seems that City have made defenders a priority in this transfer window. Spanish football expert Guillem Balague has said that Barcelona are keen to offload Fabregas, but that he will not be returning to Arsenal.

“They have told Fabregas to look for a team – but Arsenal are not interested,” he said.

“Barca want at least 35m euros – he cost 40m – I think (Barca coach) Luis Enrique has concluded the way he played at Arsenal, he cannot play like that at Barca because it’s a more tactically disciplined team.

“Fabregas came to Barcelona and expected something else but what he saw was fans who weren’t all happy that he’d cost 40m euros having been developed at La Masia (Barcelona’s academy).

“But his stats were really good – he just didn’t have the unanimous love of the fans.

“There was a story in one of the Catalan papers on Monday afternoon saying that Chelsea and him have agreed to a deal – that’s not true – not yet anyway – but Chelsea are a team would suit him, as would Manchester United.”

Fabregas is thought to have a ÂŁ30million release clause in the 5 year contract he signed in 2011, descibing the move as the ‘greatest challenge of his career’.
