Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger insists there is "no chance" of his captain Cesc Fàbregas being sold to Barcelona.
Fàbregas, who left Barcelona as a teenager to join Arsenal in 2003, has again been linked with a return to the Camp Nou, with reports claiming a deal could be done before the transfer window closes.
But Wenger is adamant that the Spanish playmaker is going nowhere.
He said in The Daily Star: "There is no chance we will sell Cesc.
"Cesc is committed to the club. He has told me that and told that to the press.
"We cannot master the noises coming out of Spain. In Spain they have the same problems in the newspapers looking for headlines.
"When they have no ideas any more, they come out with a Fàbregas story. It is not him who encourages the idea.
"It is the press who encourages the idea. Where does that come from? Does it come from Fàbregas? It comes from Spain."
