Cesc Fabregas wants his future at Arsenal to be settled before the World Cup.

But he has reiterated he is in no rush to leave Arsenal for Barcelona.

"I want to make a decision about my future before the World Cup," said Fabregas, who expects to recover from a cracked fibula in time to be fit for the tournament.

"It's impossible to perform at a tournament such as the World Cup if you're not fully focused on the sporting aspects of the game. It does not benefit anyone.

"If I ever leave Arsenal it will be to play for Barcelona. I would like to go, whether they want me or not is another matter.

"I am 23 years old and I have a long career in front of me. I've never hidden the fact that playing for Barcelona is a dream that I would like to fulfil.

"I'm very happy at Arsenal. I'm in no hurry to leave the club.

"Barcelona are still playing for the Liga title and I'm still an Arsenal player. It would be a lack of respect to discuss a transfer now.

"No candidates for the Barcelona presidency have approached me, so I don't feel used."
