Barcelona Vice President Josep Maria Bartomeu has said that the club got Cesc Fabregas really cheap in the current transfer window. Fabregas transferred for £24.5m from Arsenal to Barcelona last month, a fee that could potentially rise to £35m ( 40m euros in the future.
Bartomeu said that Fabregas’ real asking price should have been what Arsenal initially demanded- €60m. He however admitted that Los Cules got their boyhood star cheap because he wanted to return to the Nou Camp and that forced Arsenal to reduce their asking price.
Fabregas has already scored three times for Barcelona since his transfer- in a friendly against Napoli, in the UEFA Super Cup against Porto and in his league debut against Villarreal.
