The Telegraph are reporting that Barcelona are set to make one final bid for Cesc Fabregas and bring an end to the transfer saga.

A second offer nearing the £35 million is set to be made after their original £27 million bid was rejected by Arsenal.

Fabregas is also willing to see his salary reduced by around £5 million for the duration of his contract, which would encourage Barcelona to raise their bid.

The offer would be worth the £35 million Arsenal are looking for and would include up to £5 million in potential add-ons.

It’s understood that the Spanish clubs’ President Sandro Roselli is already travelling back from the United States where Pep Guardiola and his men are on tour.

Guardiola also hinted that Fabregas was the final piece of the Nou Camp jigsaw saying, “We’re short of just one player and everyone knows which one that is.”

Despite Barca’s willingness to meet the Gunners valuation it isn’t entirely certain that the bid will be accepted.

However boss Arsene Wenger has become tired and frustrated at the entire saga and there are no assurances that he will immediately say yes to the Catalan clubs latest offer.

If the bid were to be accepted it would put an end to one of the longest running transfer chases in Premier League history.
