Barcelona wizard Lionel Messi has publicly stated his desire to link up with Cesc Fabregas at the Camp Nou next season.
The long-running transfer saga regarding the Arsenal midfielder’s potential switch to the Blaugrana shows no sign of reaching a resolution, with the English side showing no intention to sell, but the Primera Division champions continue to state their desire to bring the Spaniard back to Catalunya.
Messi arrived in Barcelona airport on Saturday evening to meet up with his colleagues prior to the club’s upcoming tour of Asia, and Spanish publication Sport quoted from TV channel Cuatro that Messi stated he would relish playing alongside Fabregas next season.
He said, “It is no secret that Cesc [Fabregas] is my friend. He knows everyone, and I would like him to sign for Barcelona.
“I want Cesc to come. I hope the issue can eventually be resolved and that Cesc can be a Barcelona player.”
The 23-year old also added that he was suitably refreshed after his exploits at the World Cup with Argentina, and is looking forward to returning to club duties.
He claimed, “I am very rested after my holidays, and eager to get to work as soon as possible with my team-mates.”
Finally, Messi was coy when discussing Jose Mourinho’s Real Madrid, insisting that Barcelona are only concerned with their own performances, and not those of their rival.
He concluded, “We have to rely only on our own work, and our abilities, and not worry what anyone else says."
