Barcelona make Cesc Fabregas promise
Posted Thursday, August 04, 2011 by The Sun
BARCELONA sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta has promised his club will be discreet in their continued pursuit of Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas.
The Catalan side's long-running bid to recapture their former youth team player — who left as a 16-year-old to join the Gunners in 2003 — has dragged on for more than two years.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has been critical of Barca's public pursuit of Fabregas.
And Zubizarreta, currently in Miami with Pep Guardiola's team, insists the European champions need to be "respectful" of the Gunners as they look to broker a deal for the 24-year-old.
He said: "We won't comment on the negotiations for Fabregas. We will have time for that.
"We must be respectful of the club Cesc belongs to. You just have to let things happen without being optimistic or pessimistic."
