Liverpool have become the latest Premier League side interested in bringing back Cesc Fabregas after he handed in a transfer request at FC Barcelona.
The Reds will challenge; Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United to the Spaniard’s signing and will also be willing to match the £30million that the Catalan club want for the 27-year-old midfielder.
The former-Arsenal captain hasn’t enjoyed his time at his boyhood club, and after numerous seasons sitting on the bench as a backup to Andres Iniesta, Xavi and Sergio Busquets, it’s been suggested that he is ready to leave and come back to England.
Liverpool, Chelsea and United will have a real battle to see off Arsenal, as The Gunners have first refusal on their former-player and would also receive a high percentage of the transfer fee if Barca sell to one of their rivals.
However, Wenger has made it clear that on his wishlist is a right-back, a holding-midfielder and a striker, but would the Frenchman turn down a chance of re-signing his former-captain and the player that he trained from a youth?
Also, when the Spanish midfielder joined Barcelona, he admitted that if he was to ever leave the Catalan club, it would only be back to Arsenal, however, that hasn’t put off Jose Mourinho, Louis Van Gaal or Brendan Rodgers.
