Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas has rejected an amazing offer from Manchester City to keep himself clear to join Barcelona. Sport says City were willing to meet Arsenal's £60 million asking price and tabled the midfielder a contract worth an amazing £12 million-a-year.
An on-call private jet and other perks were included in City's offer - but was rejected by Cesc.
The midfielder wants to return to Barca, which are prepared to pay him £6 million-a-year - still an incredible salary, but only half what is on offer from City - BEFORE bonuses.
