simply because they don't have enough money like madrid, chelsea or city.

madrid is always full of money.

chelsea are owned by a billionaire.

city with insane seikhs.

Barcelona are not just owned by few of the people/chief/share holders but also few thousands supporters. Till last year they didn't have any shirt sponsor - they had unicef but they were not paying barca a penny. so they were already behind in that department. also they are in debt but it is normal for a football club to be in debt. but the main thing is that they want to spend wisely and are fighting for a bargain price for fabregas with arsenal.

The club along with Barca fans have stated that "apparently" Fabregas has always beeeeen a Barcelona player!! :/ how they think this is beyond me honestly the Spaniard's need their heads checking due to the fact he was a reject in their academy and they let us have him for next to nothing and our academy saw the potential in him (unlike the Barca academy) and worked with him night and day training a guiding him into the player he is today. Yes he is worth 50 mil, yes he didn't have a good season but that's what you get when you have a player who does not want to play for a team. Why he wants to go to Barca is also hard to understand :/ due to the fact that he would never get played they don't need him in their mid-field it is formidable he would always sit on the bench (hence another reason why they only want him for £35 mil), I wish he would go instead of hanging around playing half arsed football so we can find a new captain and new players because the team needs..... well its a mess.

Because he don't want to spend all of there budget on a player that wouldn't even make the first team hes worth 30 million max .

@tahirtaz they are not getting that every year that is their payment over the whole five years.

honestly they can afford it but the debts are only getting bigger. you could see a PSG with the fans having maybe a 10%share in a club owned by the arab states.

Barcelona is receiving 120million a year from thee Qatar foundation.........but that doesn't mean they aren't in debt .. their budget is less then 45million and they cant push to that amount due to signing other players on such as Kiko and Sanchez

cos they think fabregas will force arsenal into selling him at any price

£35 MILLION ?

thats a bit expensive for a new treatment table

THEY WILL NEED IT

because 15 million pounds of money that you don't actually have is difficult to spend on something you don't need... unless you're Man City or Real Madrid

They are idiots, if they wont pay the money HE IS WORTH then they are not getting him.

because that is what fabregas is worth in my opinion
