Cesc Fabregas rejects new contract

It has been reported that Arsenal star midfielder Cesc Fabregas has rejected a contract extension at the club.

His rejection has fuelled speculation that the Spaniard may have his sights set on returning to his native Spain with either FC Barcelona or Real Madrid where his skills have for a long time now been admired.

Fabregas who was born in Barcelona joined Arsenal in 2003 from Barcelona where he had been a trainee.

A contract extension would keep the twenty one year old at Arsenal until 2016 but he appears to be waiting to hear what either Barcelona or Real Madrid are able to offer.
