Time for Barcelona to put their money where their mouth is

With less than 3 weeks until the start of the season, the transfer window is rife with speculation. Fabregas is at the centre of it all again, but will Barcelona make a serious move to bring him back to his hometown club?

Another summer, another Fabregas transfer saga, it just wouldn’t feel like a transfer window without it. For the past few years it’s been the story that runs from the start to the finish of the window, and it appears that this year is going to be no different. Last summer Barcelona made their first real move to take Fabregas back to his hometown club, a reported thirty-five million pound bid for the Arsenal captain was not enough for Arsenal to part ways with him last summer.
