da premier bet: Cesc Fabregas is set to official become a Barcelona player at 1pm after beginning the first of two medicals ahead his dream move back to the Nou Camp BBC Sport understands.
da stake casino: The Spanish champions declared that Fabregas would be unveiled to the media today after agreeing a deal ‘in principle’ on Sunday to re-sign him.
He still needs to agree personal terms and pass the medicals although both parties aren’t expecting any roadblocks that will hold up the transfer.
If all goes to plan it will bring the 24-year-old back to the club he left as a 16-year-old in 2003.
His eight years at the Gunners wielded 303 appearances and 57 goals and manager Arsene Wenger thanked his former captain for his service over the years.
“We understand Cesc’s desire to move to his home-town club and have now accepted an offer from Barcelona.” said Wenger
“We have been clear that we didn’t want Cesc to leave and that remains the case.
“We thank Cesc for his contribution at Arsenal and wish him future success.”
News of the deal filtered through at half time during the Spanish Super Cup game against Real Madrid last night.
It will put to bed a saga that has dragged on for the entire summer with Barca boss Pep Guardiola finally landing his man.
The question now on everyone’s lips is who will Wenger bring in to replace his former captain especially with Samir Nasri also heading for the exit.
