Barcelona<\/a> are preparing to make an improved offer of \u00a331 million for Arsenal<\/a> captain Cesc Fabregas<\/a>, according to the Daily Telegraph<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The Spanish champions have reportedly already had an initial bid of \u00a327m turned down for the midfielder and, although this second bid seemingly still falls well short of the Gunners\u2019 reported valuation of the player, the Catalan club are hopeful of reaching a compromise.<\/p>\n

Barca are keen to pay the fairest possible price to get their man, with president Sandro Rosell adamant the club\u2019s outgoings on this summer’s transfers will not exceed \u00a340m, but the Telegraph<\/em> suggests the La Liga champions are willing stretch to \u00a335m in order to seal the deal.<\/p>\n

Arsene Wenger refused to entertain Barcelona\u2019s interest in Fabregas last summer and has always maintained he would not consider selling his captain, but the need to raise funds for summer reinforcements combined with the Spaniard\u2019s desire to link up with his boy-hood club could ultimately persuade the Arsenal boss to cash in on his prized asset.<\/p>\n

The chances of any deal going through are believed to be dependent on the Gunners securing a replacement for their playmaker, with Velez Sarsfield\u2019s Ricardo Alvarez reportedly top of the list of targets.<\/p>\n
