Fabregas off to Barca

10:18 am on 15 August 2011

Arsenal and Barcelona have confirmed they have reached an "agreement in principle" over the sale of Cesc Fabregas to the Spanish football club.

It means the 24-year-old Gunners captain is set to return to the club he left as a 16-year-old in 2003.

He will now discuss personal terms and undergo a medical.

Barcelona have been chasing Fabregas for a year.

Reports say Arsenal will receive a guaranteed 60 million dollars, with a further 10 million dependent on the number of games played and trophies won by the Spaniard during his time at the Nou Camp.
