London, July 06: Arsenal have said that they are ready to sell midfielder Cesc Fabregas for 40 million pounds.
“If Arsenal receive a bid in the region of 40 million pounds there will be an enormous pressure to sell,” The Sun quoted a Gunner’s insider, as saying.
Barcelona and Real Madrid are said to be interested in making a bid for Fabregas.
Barca president Joan Laporta signalled his intention to make an offer last week.
“Cesc has Barcelona in his DNA and I think that one day he should play for Barca. We all like him very much – the technical director, the manager, as well as me. He’s always been in our thoughts,” he said.
Fabregas openly flirted with both clubs last week as he branded Arsenal “impotent” for failing to win silverware.
Fabregas went further and said his Catalan family would back him if he went to the Bernabeu.
