World Cup 2010: Gerard Pique, Chile - Spain(Getty Images)
Barcelona defender Gerard Pique says Arsenal star Cesc Fabregas wants to join him at the Nou Camp next season.

The 23-year-old was speaking after Spain beat Paraguay 1-0 to reach the World Cup semi-finals yesterday.

Pique has been an integral part of his country's campaign in South Africa but Arsenal midfielder Fabregas has yet to start a game.

According to the Telegraph, the former Manchester United defender revealed Fabregas has told him that he wants to quit the Premier League in favour of a move to his boyhood club.

"I have known that Cesc wanted to join Barcelona for many years – but now it is more than about wanting to do it," Barcelona defender Pique said.

"Now it is something he feels he must do. The World Cup has not been a good thing for Arsenal.

"It has meant that he has been spending every day with myself, Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Victor Valdes – and he has made his feelings very clear to us.

"He is keeping his mind focused on Spain but his heart is in Barcelona. I think already in his heart he is wearing a Barcelona shirt next season."
