Arsenal skipper Cesc Fabregas insists that he would like to have his future settled before the 2010 World Cup.
The 23-year-old Barcelona youth product has been heavily linked with a return to his former club for some time now, and he has made no secret of his desire to return to the Catalan outfit someday.
It has been speculated that Barca may swoop for the Spaniard during the summer as they prepare for their presidential elections to commence.
The midfielder is now keen to put an end to the uncertainty surrounding his future at the north London club.
"I want to make a decision about my future before the World Cup," Fabregas told the press.
"It's impossible to perform at a tournament such as the World Cup if you're not fully focused on the sporting aspects of the game. It does not benefit anyone.
"I am 23 years old and I have a long career in front of me. I've never hidden the fact that playing for Barcelona is a dream that I would like to fulfil."
Despite admitting yet again that he would like to return to the Spanish club in the future, the apple of manager Arsene Wenger's eye maintained that he remains happy plying his trade at the Emirates Stadium.
"I'm very happy at Arsenal," he said. "I'm in no hurry to leave the club.
"Barcelona are still playing for the Liga title and I'm still an Arsenal player. It would be a lack of respect to discuss a transfer now."
No trip to South Africa is complete without a visit to its most beautiful and sunniest city. Durban offers much more than sandy beaches, safaris, casinos and the World Cup, for information on what to do and see, please click here.
