Rumours of a move back to the Premier League for Barcelona’s Cesc Fabregas are wide of the mark, says Sky Sport’s Guillem Balague.
A report in the Daily Mail claims Manchester City and Manchester United are set to battle it out for the former Arsenal midfielder, but Balague told Sky Sports News that if Fabregas did leave the Camp Nou it would not be for at least another 12 months.
“He is surprised by the rumours that are so strong in England. The club has definitely told me this evening that they have no intention whatsoever of selling him.
“His buyout clause, in case anybody is interested, is €200m, which is a little bit expensive. In any case it is a deterrent for people to come and try to poach him away.
“If anything was going to happen it would be in the future, maybe next year, who knows, but what seems certain is that both the club and himself have decided he will stay at Barcelona for at least one more season.”
