Cesc Fabregas could be set for a dramatic return to Arsenal as Barcelona look to revitalise their current squad.
The Spanish giants have been found wanting in big matches this season and despite being on the verge of reclaiming their league title, major losses to Real Madrid, AC Milan and most recently Bayern Munich have left the club questioning whether they’re too reliant on Lionel Messi.
While a complete squad overhaul is clearly not on the agenda, Barca may consider selling peripheral players like Fabregas and Alex Song in order to finance moves for a centre-back and new striker.
A Barcelona source told the Daily Star: ‘If an important offer for Cesc arrives we will study the situation.’
Arsenal, who have a first-refusal option on the midfielder they sold in 2011, may be tempted to re-sign their former captain, and it’s believed Fabregas would be open to a return.
With the World Cup looming, the 25-year-old knows first-team football will be crucial to his chances of making the plane to Brazil 2014, and given Abou Diaby’s injury situation at Arsenal, Arsene Wenger will likely be on the lookout for a midfielder come the end of the season.
Fabregas’ partner, Daniella Semaan, has also recently given birth to their first daughter, and it’s reported the couple are keen to raise their family in London.
