Real Madrid could make an audacious last-minute attempt to sign Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas, according to Sky Sports.
Fabregas has been linked with a return to his boyhood club for several years and this summer it seems Arsenal might finally be willing to do business. Arsenal are holding out for more than £40 million for the World Cup winner but Barcelona have failed to meet their valuation so far. With the clubs stalling on a transfer fee, arch-rivals Real Madrid could make a last minute move for the 24-year-old.
Any move would be anger both Arsenal and Barcelona fans but Real are apparently willing to offer £45 million for the player as they look to bridge the gap on their La Liga rivals. Real had failed to win the title since 2008 whilst it has been nearly 10 years since their last European triumph. Barcelona, on the other hand, have flourished under Pep Guardiola.
Real boss Jose Mourinho sees Fabregas as the ideal man to add more creativity to the Madrid midfield. Brazilian star Kaka has failed to live up to his transfer fee since his move two summers ago but feels the Arsenal man would be a more than adequate replacement.
