Two of Laporta's election rivals including winner Sandro Rosell
two of his potential successors, Sandro Rosell and Alfons Godall, have mentioned signing Fabregas as part of their election campaign.
Sounding more and more like a done deal and don't expect Ronaldo type millions for him, they don't want to pay more than £30 million due to him being from their youth team, if you can negotiate that fee + Toure I'd take it.

The Spanish Presidents are always mouthing off about getting this player and that. I take whatever they say which a Huge dose of salt. They have form in this regard, especially during the time clubs' presidential election. I don't seem him playing in their first team as a regular. Not with Xavi and Inestia fit, so why pay £30 mill plus for him? I think it will be a mistake for him to leave unless he is certain to get first team football. He is one of the best players in the world, it wouldn't make sense to move to the one club that have most of the rest.
Oh well. Has to happen sometime. Want Wenger to get a keeper, two defenders (one to replace Gallas, the other back up) and a new midfielder and I am happy. Even if Fabagas left (at least that saga would be over!).
