Barca won’t ‘go mad’ for Fabregas

CESC FABREGAS could be forced to wait for a move back to Barcelona, after president Sandro Rosell admitted the Spanish club would not “go mad” to land the Arsenal captain before the new season.

Although Fabregas, who has five years still to run on his contract, told Gunners boss Arsene Wenger before the World Cup he wanted to return to the Nou Camp, Arsenal remain determined to retain the services of their talisman and have already knocked back one £30 million (€35.5m) offer.

It is an issue which plagued Wenger during his time in South Africa, where he was a pundit for French television.
