Arsenal Ready To Accept Cut-Price Deal For Cesc Fabregas

Cesc Fabregas 71 Arsenal Ready To Accept Cut Price Deal For Cesc Fabregas

Reports have surfaced that Arsenal are reluctantly ready to accept less than their own valuation from Barcelona for Cesc Fabregas.

The Gunners demanded a £40 million fee for the club captain but with the European champions unwilling to improve significantly on their initial £27m offer, and Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger admitting the player was unsettled, it now appears as if the club will have to broker a cut-price deal to move on.

The package is reported to include a downpayment of £27m, with an additional £5.2m in performance-based add-ons at a later stage.

There are also suggestions Fabregas is prepared to wave the £4m compensation he would be entitled to for the remainder of his long-term Arsenal contract, as technically the player never asked for a transfer.
