Arsenal have rejected Barcelona's opening formal £31million bid for Cesc Fabregas.
Arsene Wenger, Ivan Gazidis and the Emirates board are keen to begin their summer rebuilding programme in the next few days, the club will not be bulldozed into selling Fabregas.
The Arsenal board have insisted that unless Barcelona offer at least £45m, they will not agree to let Fabregas follow his heart and return to the club he left eight years ago.
l wonder why Arsenal are still holding on to Fabregas. Let the young man go. His heart is no more at Arsenal.
Fabregas loss of interest in Arsenal was displayed towards the end of the season, most especially, in the knockout stage of the champion league, against Barcelona in Camp Nou stadium in Spain.
No professional footballer in his right senses would want to remain in a club for six seasons, without winning a trophy.
