Cesc Fabregas will meet Barcelona manager Tito Vilanova this week for talks about his future, with Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea all interested in signing him.

Fabregas would prefer to stay at the Nou Camp but he will seek reassurances about his role.

Barca are unlikely to sanction a move unless they can recoup the 25million that they paid Arsenal for Fabregas two years ago.

The Gunners do have a buy-back clause at around 25m allowing them first refusal on Fabregas's next move, but first they would have to convince him to return to the Emirates.

David Moyes is understood to be keen to take Fabregas to Old Trafford and Chelsea and Manchester City are also being kept informed of developments. Arsene Wenger is keen to add a midfielder but has identified Bayer Leverkusen's Lars Bender as a target.

The 24-year-old German international, valued at 15m, is high on Arsenal's list of potential summer buys

But the club would face a dilemma if Fabregas became available, as they would want to demonstrate they had done all they could to persuade him back to The Emirates.

Sources close to the player still think it is likely that he will remain at Barcelona.

On Friday, Vilanova returned from New York, where he has been having treatment on a tumour, and has declared that  he will be coaching the team  next season.

Barcelona have signed Brazil's Neymar in a 50m deal and he will be presented at the club tomorrow, flying to Spain after playing England in today's friendly fixture at the Maracana.

It is Neymar's arrival to support Lionel Messi that has  put Fabregas's future in doubt, although he was the club's second-top scorer last season with 13, behind Messi on 46.

Why would he go to Utd? They are going to have problems next year with Moyed! It wasn't just Fergie that left Utd it was most of the back room staff as well! City are short on ideas and Chelsea are rebuild! Arsenal have it all Champions League and money in the bank! The good times are coming back!

You can never go home again - Robert Frost - a renowned American poet said it best. Didn't work going back to Barca; makes me tearful to say - will not work going back to Emirates. (And please do not tell me it worked for Thierry Henry - that was for only 8/9 games. - Weary Gunner, Chicago, 02/06/2013 01:05======================== You dare mention KING HENRY'S name? Chew your own tongue up...Mate!

I think Barca are the biggest mugs in football to make a deal like what they made with Arsenal, particularly for a player that wanted to leave. now they want to sell him. that has to be the worst rip off of all time, and to compound things, Arsenal stole him from Barca in the first place. The deal was a complete rip off. Barca should sack whoever negotiated that deal, whoever it is is not fit for purpose. Arsenal also forced Fabregas to pay close to 1 million to leave. That club is just a place of business. the greed of that club is mind-boggling.- saymyname, London, United Kingdom, 2/6/2013 xxxxx We can't all live off of Romans welfare checks to purchase trophies like your lot who have no problem in waiving 100k to 200k a week salaries and 30/50m in fees at any player that shows an interest in an English club, whilst also going after any manager in football that's won anything and then churning them out of the revolving door, if they haven't bought 3 trophies in 6mth! #1titlein100yrs

arsenal have proven over the past 8 yrs that nothing matters only profit for the owners so they wil gladly opt for the 25m.....,prob touched a nerve their with Gooners hence the record number of thumbs down!!..but the truth hurts eh!- kavsie, Cork, 2/6/2013 xxxxx Clueless - as in doesn't realise that before he was born Man Utd until 93 went 26 years without winning the league, deluded - as in David Moyes has won nothing in 9 yrs and finished 4th once without paying off a 400 million pound stadium, uneducated - as in Arsenal would only get 25m if another club paid 50m.

Fabregas was always going to be a fringe player at Barca with Iniesta and Xavi, should have stayed at Arsenal!
