Arsenal are believed to be demanding a mammoth £80 million for the potential sale of their skipper Cesc Fabregas.
The 23-year-old has persistently been heavily linked with a move back to Spain, after coming through the ranks at Barcelona. And the midfielder has in the past spoken of a desire to return to the club of his youth at some point in his career.
But recent reports have indicated an intention to bid from Real Madrid, who are also believed to be interested in acquiring the services of the World Cup winner. Barcelona, meanwhile, remain committed to trying to re-sign their youth product.
Now The Mirror reports that the Gunners are going to stick to their guns and retain the £80m price-tag on Fabregas, in an attempt to hold on to their prized asset.
Fabregas has made 27 appearances and scored nIne goals in all competitions for Arsenal this season, providing 10 assists in the Premier League alone, and is currently ranked 44th in the Castrol Rankings across Europe's top five leagues, up from 52nd a month ago.
