The interest in Cesc Fabregas from Spain shows no sign of abating, with Barcelona and Real Madrid set to engage in a bidding war for the midfielder.
Fabregas has long been coveted by the Liga giants, but neither was expected to make a move until next season, with both teams seemingly well stocked for central midfielders.
However, according to The Mirror, the two rivals are now determined to beat each other to Fabregas' signature, which could spell bad news for Arsenal.
Apparently, after hearing about Madrid's perceived interest, Barca have pushed forward their plans to sign Fabregas, in order to complete the deal this summer.
Club president Joan Laporta has made no secret of his desire to bring the Blaugrana youth product back to the Camp Nou, and he would be loath to see the Spanish international end up at the Bernabeu instead.
As a consequence, Real are determined to get one over their rivals by signing Fabregas, despite the extravagant amounts of money they have already spent this summer.
It is believed that the Gunners would seriously consider a bid of around €46 million. Fabregas has reiterated his commitment to Arsenal in recent weeks, albeit admitting that he wants to return to Spain in the future.
