Cesc Fabregas Is Our Type Of Player - Barcelona President Joan Laporta
He says the board has received no proposal from sporting director over winter signings...
Since establishing himself at Arsenal, Fabregas has constantly been linked with a return to the Catalan giants and the speculation looks set to continue heading into the winter transfer window, with suggestions of a possible €50 million bid from Barca.
"He [Fabregas] was formed at Barca, he has our style of play and the majority of 'cules' like him," he declared, according to Spanish publication Sport.
"We must respect Arsenal and cannot comment though. The market is not open and these matters are decided by the technical director [Txiki Begiristain], and so we are not thinking about it at the moment."
Laporta also said that there have been no moves to sign any player in the winter periodm, adding that Begiristain will "evaluate the market if reinforcements are needed, but the board has not received any proposal".
