Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas wants his future sorted out before this summer's World Cup and has admitted that he wants to return to Barcelona.

Fabregas, who has failed to win a trophy in the past five years with the Gunners, insisted he was still happy at the Premier League club but warned: "If I leave Arsenal it will be to play at Barcelona."

The former Barca youth player will join up with the Spain squad on May 24 to prepare for South Africa 2010 and told Marca: "I want to make a decision about my future before the start of the World Cup.

"It's impossible to perform at a tournament like the World Cup if you're not fully focused on the sporting aspects of the game. I don't want to be distracted by transfer talk."

However, the 24-year-old midfielder, who is contracted to the Gunners until 2014, added: "I am very happy at Arsenal and I am in no hurry to leave."

Fabregas will decide his future this weekend after talks with boss Arsene Wenger, in which he will seek assurances regarding Arsenal's recruitment plans for the summer. The club have already agreed a deal to sign Bordeaux striker Marouane Chamakh

I hope its just talk and he doesn't actually decide to leave. It would be devastating to our squad and I don't realistically think we can win without him.

In the same interview he said he is happy at Arsenal :)
and Wenger will never allow him to leave now..

You know how the spanish press are they do it every opportunity they get with Fabregas, and they did it for ages with Henry too, and Henry only left when Arsene was ready to let him go

I see Cesc was flirting with Barcelona again. Interviewed on sky sports today he basically said if Barca want him they must contact Arsenal. He went on to say he is happy at Arsenal but wants to play at the Camp Nou. Dont be surprised if he leaves. If the media makes a big wooop ha about, Arsenal supporters can blame Cesc for it. He was very direct in the interview about where he wants to play his football.

Ummm
Sorry but whats wrong with "if barca want him they must contact arsenal"? thats the way things work, if he wanted to he would hand in a transfer request, he's always said he wanted to play at barca at some point in his career, he didnt say that point is now

In the interview he basically told Barca, to come and get him. It was straight foward.

So all this crap about the Spanish media making things up is laughable. If you want the media to get off Cesc, then he shouldnt be saying things like he wants to play his football at the Camp Nou. If asked about a transfer, why doesnt he just say, ''Im going nowhere because I want to finish my contract with Arsenal''

Simple.

check your facts buddy - it was a video on spanish tv - in spanish - not on sky.

Had the interview (which is quite hilariously edited to suit said news media) translated into english by a spanish friend

Question: 'if you leave arsenal, would you only do so if it were barca?'

Cesc: Yes, only barcelona [audience applause]

Cesc: but it is disrespectful to behave this way (to such questioning). I am very happy with life at arsenal and with Barca fighting for the title it would be disrespectful to speak such things as I am a player of arsenal'

-no question, just edit straight to answer- yes, we will sort this out hopefully before the world cup

a source who had seen the entire interview told several reputable arsenal blogs that the interviewer asked Cesc if it was true Arsenal had offered him a new, improved contract over the 8 year one he had signed in 2007/8. The fact that the question was omitted from the spanish interview and then passed on to several tabloids, screams mischief. We are assured tho, that Cesc will make a statement on the official Arsenal website (www.arsenal.com) confirming his position as he has had to do, several times.

Cesc Fabregas is the captain of Arsenal. The young man knows his responsibilities more than anyone and how he portrays himself in the media - i say this, due to the fact that whenever a story, no matter how trivial, has run - he has always come out to state he is 100% committed to Arsenal. The team has been built around him, and I have absolutely no doubt he is staying a gunner.
