Spanish media has revealed that Cesc Fàbregas has decided to leave Arsenal next summer, with Real Madrid prepared to bid 50 million euros to snatch Barcelona's target.
Is Fàbregas disappointed with Arsenal's current situation? According to the club's official website, Arsenal recently announced the results of their November Player of the Month poll, with Fàbregas winning this honor for the second consecutive month as chosen by Gunners fans. The Arsenal captain beat teammates Robin van Persie and young midfielder Alex Song, securing 38.6% of the votes to retain his title as the monthly best player.
The 22-year-old Cameroonian midfielder Song performed admirably this month, but Fàbregas stood out even more. He scored twice in the Champions League match against AZ Alkmaar, and his goal in the 4-1 away victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers was voted the best goal of the game. Additionally, in the Champions League match against Standard Liège and the two Premier League games where Arsenal lost to Sunderland and Chelsea, Fàbregas's performances were commendable, earning him nearly forty percent of the votes. How could Arsenal fans forget their captain's contributions?
However, the latest revelations from the British media might unsettle Arsenal fans. According to today’s Mirror, quoting Spain's Marca, Real Madrid will compete with Barcelona for Fàbregas's signature next summer. Marca disclosed that Fàbregas has already decided to leave Arsenal at the end of this season to return to Spain. As a long-time "suitor" of Fàbregas, Barcelona vice president Rosell's acquisition intentions have received "positive" feedback from relevant parties. Surprisingly, Real Madrid, who spent lavishly this summer, will also join the competition for Fàbregas.
Spanish media revealed that Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez's original acquisition target for next summer was Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard. However, since the Liverpool captain is now 29 years old, the 7-years-younger Fàbregas is undoubtedly more appealing to the "Galácticos." Marca reported that Real Madrid has already prepared 50 million euros to acquire Arsenal's captain and pair him with his Spanish national team teammate Xabi Alonso at Real Madrid.
