Sagna: Fabregas Wants To Leave Arsenal for Barca

If Arsenal fans have tearing their hair out and gnawing at their lips whilst watching intensely the transfer goings on surrounding Samir Nasri and his future, they have yet another story to worry about. Worryingly, it has come directly from inside the club, from their right back, Bacary Sagna. The French defender has done no favours to Arsenal fans' stability by admitting that his friend Fabregas does want to leave Arsenal for Barcelona.
The Arsenal defender told former Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Fernandez on France's RMC radio station:

"I can say it's true that Cesc wants to go to Barca. Fabregas wants to return to his country of birth, to his city, where his family are; he wants to play for one of the best teams in the world, Barcelona, and that's understandable." 
"At the moment, however, he is still Arsenal's captain." 
While it has been common knowledge that Fabregas has been thinking about a move to Barcelona for the past few years thanks to the Spanish sides continued interest and pursuing of the player, it is the latest clear show that Fabregas may be on his way out of Arsenal. Sagna really hasn't helped Arsenal's cause here by announcing what his team-mate wants, as it now gives Barcelona that added and unneeded incentive to begin a transfer battle with Arsenal over Fabregas.

Sagna went on to comment on Samir Nasri's Arsenal future, saying that although he hopes Nasri will stay at the club, he doesn't know if him staying at Arsenal would be best for his career. The latest transfer news involving Samir Nasri is that Arsenal are apparently "willing to listen to offers" from foreign clubs, but will not entertain offers from Manchester United, which may go some way in cheering Arsenal fans up slightly.
"Samir is happy at Arsenal, but I don't know what the best thing is for his career. He has been one of the best players in the team this season and he is one of the symbols of this team. I hope to find him there when we return for (pre-season) training."
