Barcelona captain Carles Puyol believes Arsenal are wrong in trying to prevent Cesc Fabregas from moving to the Camp Nou.
The Gunners have already rejected a bid from the Spanish champions and have reiterated that the midfielder will not be leaving the club this summer.
However, the Spanish centre back insists Arsenal need to allow Fabregas a move back to his former club, not just for the sake of the player but for his family.
"I think Arsenal need to respect his class and show the same class by giving the guy who has given so much to them the move that he and his family want,” Puyol told the Daily Star Sunday.
"He isn't just being deprived of moving to the best club in the world, more importantly, he is being deprived of coming home.
"He has tried everything to win trophies at Arsenal and when he sees the success so many of his Spanish team-mates are having at Barcelona, it's only natural that he should want to be a part of that.
"Cesc is the future of Barcelona and Arsenal can't do anything to stop that.
"I have just spent six weeks with him and there is only one club he wants to be at."
