Cesc Fabregas is ready to reject AC Milan and stick with Arsenal this season.

The Daily Express says the Gunners are braced for a battle to hold on to Fabregas as AC Milan meet today to discuss a £30million bid for the Spaniard.

Fresh from losing Emmanuel Adebayor and Kolo Toure to Manchester City, the Gunners are set to come under renewed pressure to cash in on captain Fabregas.

Fabregas reaffirmed his commitment to the Gunners earlier this summer but a big offer from Milan could make him rethink. Barcelona, though, have always been confident Fabregas will return to the Nou Camp if and when he decides to leave Arsenal.

It is understood Fabregas is prepared to stay for another season but will then consider his future again.
