Barcelona target Cesc Fabregas hints that he could stay at Arsenal
Spanish midfielder 'loves' the Gunners...
By Anthony Sciarrino
Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas has suggested that his move to Barcelona is not definite and that he could remain with the Gunners after all.
New Barcelona president Sandro Rosell’s term of office began on Wednesday and one of his first acts will be to go back to Arsenal with a new offer for their skipper.

The Catalan giants have already seen a £30 million bid for the Spain midfielder rejected despite Fabregas informing Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger that he wants to move to his childhood club.
However, with Spain’s Word Cup 2010 quarter-final match with Paraguay looming, Fabregas admitted that his exit from Arsenal is not guaranteed.
"I haven't said that I will definitely leave Arsenal," Fabregas was quoted as saying in The Mirror.
"Everything is possible. Now I have my head and my focus on the World Cup.
"I am very proud to be captain of Arsenal and I love the club and have respect for them.
"It gave me such pride to be made captain."
Fabregas enjoyed a fine Premier League season for the Gunners, scoring 15 goals and grabbing 15 assists, despite missing the end of the season with a leg fracture.
