Barcelona vice-presidential candidate Josep Maria Bartomeu has risked the wrath of Arsenal by claiming it would be "so easy" to sign Cesc Fabregas.
Bartomeu - who will flank Sandro Rosell if the latter's bid for control is successful - has made the claim even after the Gunners rejected an official £29 million offer and insisted the Nou Camp youth product is not for sale.
Speaking to reporters, Bartomeu said: "A player who was made in La Masia, who has said publicly that he wants to come to Barca, who has said so to his coach and who can count on the support of Guardiola, it seems so easy to us that whoever goes into the negotiations will find themselves in the best conditions to seal the deal.
"All the players have a price, but we can't value what Cesc's is because we would be intervening in a deal that the club are handling at present.
"The price of a player is always in relation to the number of years he has left on his contract, but in this case it seems that the wind is blowing in our favour."
