Barcelona have agreed a deal with Arsenal to sign Cesc Fabregas if the Gunners do not qualify for the Champions League group stage, but will definitely sign him next summer, according to a report.
The two clubs held lengthy talks and reached the agreement that would see the London side's captain move back to the Blaugrana should Celtic triumph in the two-legged European showdown.
That has now been complicated by Arsenal's 2-0 win at Parkhead on Tuesday evening, a game in which Fabregas stood out and showed no signs of the agreement affecting his play.
With the English outfit now on the verge of making it into the draw for the group stages on August 27 in Monaco, Barca will have to wait until next summer to sign the Spain star, El Mundo Deportivo state.
Part of the deal was that should Arsenal make it past Celtic, then there would be no more talks about the midfielder and he would move without any problems at the end of the 2009-10 season.
A fee of around €35 million has also been agreed upon and means that president Joan Laporta can look ahead to the Catalan club's leadership elections with confidence.
Fabregas could have become one of the bargaining chips offered up by presidential candidates, as is commonplace in Spanish football, but with an alleged agreement in place Laporta's rivals will have to look elsewhere.
That said, Cesc has recently stated his intention to remain at the Emirates, while Pep Guardiola, the Barca coach, has ruled out an immediate move.
