Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger will offer Cesc Fabregas a lucrative new contract to try to persuade him to snub Barcelona.
Barca are set to come in with a new £35million offer this week, but that still falls short of Arsenal's £40m asking price and will leave Fabregas moving to his dream club.
Arsenal believe they can take advantage of any doubts Barca's dithering has put into Fabregas' mind by giving him a two-year extension to his current £90,000-a-week deal and a substantial pay rise.
It is believed Fabregas still wants to join Barca, which would make the chances of him signing Arsenal's new offer unlikely, but it is clear Wenger has not given up on keeping his star.
