Arsenal skipper Cesc leaves door open to Barcelona return: Anything can happen ...

Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas cannot hide how much he wants to return to Barcelona.

Cesc took part in a doco for Pique this week in Barcelona.

Fabregas said: "When I saw Gerard sign for Barcelona and shaking the hand of president Joan Laporta, I felt so much joy. It was one of those things that you see and you have to try not to get emotional. It was beautiful to see him return."

Asked directly if he will move to the Nou Camp, the player appeared guarded but did not deny his biggest dream is to return home.

He said: "Well, I suppose I will return during the holidays! I don't know if I will return to the team. The truth is a lot of things can happen in football. I've always said what I want and what I would like.

"But you know in football a lot of things can happen."

Arsenal skipper Cesc tells agent Dein to explore Real Madrid move prospects

Real Madrid are in regular contact with the agent of Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas.

El Confidencial says Darren Dein has been in regular contact with Real officials ever since he did the loan deal that took Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor to Madrid.

It's claimed Cesc has given Dein the green light to explore the prospect of moving to Real in the summer, though his priority remains hometown club Barcelona.

Dein also has a good relationship with Barca as he is the agent of Thierry Henry, now of New York Red Bulls.

However, it's emerged that talks between Dein and Real have intensified in recent weeks - and not just over Adebayor's future, but Cesc's interest in moving to the capital also.
