Barcalona president Joan Leporta
"It is remarkable the player has said that. If we believe we must make an effort, we will and we will talk to Arsenal."
Vice President Rafael Yuste
"The situation with Cesc is different because even if you have the will of the player it is very important to talk to his club and, if you can, find an agreement.
"But what makes it easier is that the players want to come to Barca."
Two of Laporta's election rivals including winner Sandro Rosell
two of his potential successors, Sandro Rosell and Alfons
Godall, have mentioned signing Fabregas as part of their election campaign.
Sounding more and more like a done deal and don't expect Ronaldo type millions for him, they don't want to pay more than £30 million due to him being taken from their youth team, if you can negotiate that fee + Toure I'd take it.
