Cruyff urges Barcelona to sign Cesc Fabregas

Barcelona legend Johan Cruyff believes that the Catalans should continue their pursuit for Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas.

While many football pundits believe that Barca already have what is the best midfield in the world, the Dutch coach believes that Fabregas’ arrival would allow Guardiola to keep his key players fresh throughout the season.

“If Cesc signs there will be four players for three places, which means all of them can share out a lot of games,” Cruyff was quoted as saying.

“There comes a stage in the season when everything is at stake but the team is out of gas. As good as the Barca players are – and they are good – there comes a time where they’ve played too many games.

“You need players not only to strengthen competition but also to move things around without upsetting the team’s rhythm.”

Barcelona had a couple of bids for the Spain international rejected last summer, but they could return for the player who spoke on numerous occasions of his love for Barcelona.

Victor Chandler believes that Cesc is close to reaching an agreement with Barcelona and are willing to pay 2.20 (5/4) if the Arsenal star moves to Camp Nou this summer, while he is 2.00 (1/1) to remain at Arsenal.
