Barcelona president Joan Laporta has revealed he wants to bring Cesc Fàbregas back to Catalunya because the Arsenal star has "La Blaugrana DNA in his body".
The 22-year-old midfielder, who left the Camp Nou in search of first-team football six years ago, has been linked with a move back to Spain for a long time.
And despite re-iterating his desire to stay with the Gunners, Barcelona supremo Laporta reckons Fàbregas wants a move to the Catalan giants because the club is in his genes.
Laporta told radio station Cadena COPE: "Cesc Fàbregas has the Barcelona DNA in his body and we know that he wants to play for this club.
"At the moment he is the leader at Arsenal and a very important player for them. But Cesc is wanted by me, by the coach Pep Guardiola and by the sport director Txiki Begiristain.
"We are concentrating all of our efforts on it, but at the same time we have a lot of respect for Arsenal.
"We have positive relations with Arsenal so it will not be an easy topic to talk to them about."
