Busquets hopeful that Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas will soon join Barcelona


Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets is hopeful that the Catalans will succeed in their attempts to lure Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas back to Camp Nou this summer.

The Spain international left Barca for the Premier League side at the age of 16 and is once again being linked with a return to his boyhood club.

Reports on Monday suggested that the London side are finally ready to sell their skipper, and Busquets admitted he wants to see a deal completed soon.

"Every year it's the same story. This year, however, a move seems to be closer than ever before. I am hopeful that this will be the final year [of the transfer saga] and that we will have him in our team soon," Busquets said, according to Sport.

"The more better players we have at Barcelona, the better it is for the team and coach. You need a large squad when you play in so many competitions. I am sure that Cesc is compatible with all the other midfielders."

Barcelona are reportedly preparing an improved €35 million offer for the 24-year-old, who has allegedly been omitted from all promotional material concerning the launch of Arsenal's away strip, heightening speculation that a move could be closer than ever.
