Spanish giants fight for Fab

Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas is being targeted by Real Madrid, looking to snatch him away from fierce competitors Barcelona.

The Gunners have placed a $76.5 million valuation on Fabregas, and both Real and Barca are anticipated to compete for his signature.

According to reports from Spain, Fabregas, once again, is considering a summer return to Camp Nou, where he spent his teenage years.

However, officials from Real Madrid have communicated with their Arsenal counterparts this week, expressing their eagerness to enter negotiations.

It has been mentioned that should Fabregas leave the Gunners, there will be no offers made to English rivals Chelsea and Manchester City, both of whom are also interested in the 24-year-old.

Last month, Arsene Wenger expressed his belief that Fabregas would remain at the Emirates.

“I expect him to be here, and I will fight very hard to keep him here. You always have to fight when you have a player of that caliber. You must always strive to retain your players.

“What guarantees do you have if you move to another club that you will win trophies? The greatest pride for a captain lies in being devoted to his club and achieving success with his team.

“A player that switches clubs every time he faces frustration or fails to secure a trophy achieves nothing. I believe the essence of sportsmanship is commitment to your club, rather than seeking an exit when things don’t progress as you’d anticipated.”

Currently, Fabregas is enjoying a vacation in the United States.
