Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola has met with Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas in South Africa, it has been revealed. The Daily Star says Guardiola has made a secret visit to Spain's World Cup base to try to land Cesc Fabregas.
He went to see his own players in South Africa but at the same time is believed to have had a chat with Arsenal skipper Fabregas.
The Spanish giants want to sign the midfielder for around £35m - despite Gunners boss Arsene Wenger insisting he is not for sale.
Arsenal will now be fuming over Guardiola's visit to the training camp.
Guardiola is understood to have told the 23-year-old his club will do everything in their power to land him this summer.
New Barca president Sandro Rosell also spoke to Fabregas' family at the Catalunya MotoGP bike race on Sunday, and they were all photographed together.
A source close to Fabregas said last night: "Sandro Rosell is a good friend of the family and things have not changed from earlier in the summer.
"Cesc wants to return to Barcelona where he grew up and the club are trying to make that happen."
