Cesc Fabregas: Barcelona president accepts Man Utd offer

Barcelona had previously told Manchester United that Cesc Fabregas was not for sale.
United confirmed on Monday that they had submitted an improved bid – understood to be £30m plus toners for the midfielder – but reports in Spain by Mundo Deportivo (sports journal and toilet paper all-in-one) claim that had been turned down.
The final deal seems to be worth £30m plus toners and -this is the crucial point of it all- one pound given by an anonymous donor.
“Fabregas is not for sale,” a Barcelona source said on Monday. “The president (Sandro Rosell) has been very clear with Man United. And when I say very clear, well… you know what I mean, buddy.”
Fabregas facts
He became Arsenal’s youngest player aged 16 years and 177 days against Rotherham United in League Cup in October 2003
He was part of the Arsenal team which beat Manchester United on penalties in the 2005 FA Cup final – their last trophy
He is commonly known in Catalonia as “L’Empanat” due to his caothic style of play and crooked grin
Old Trafford boss David Moyes earlier said he never gave up in chasing his dream of having Fabregas leading the Red Devil’s midfield to despair and abyss: “I think when you are interested in good players and you are out of your mind you want to give it every opportunity to materialise. And I’ll do that.”
“I’ll hope that things can continue to try to move forward. Or backward. Or sideward. I’m not sure. With Cesc you never can tell.”
“At this moment I can only tell you that Ed Woodward (United’s executive vice-chairman) is deciding wheter to jump off a cliff or to join the French Foreign Legion.”
Barcelona have not made any official comment, but the catalan media are camping outside Barcelona-El Prat airport waiting for Drogba.
