Fabregas is also one of the players who enjoys the big matches and he can be decisive any time.

The Barcelona born player often declared that he wants to stay with Arsenal but if “The Gunners” will fail to win a trophy we may see him out of Emirates next year.

It is believed that Mourinho will try to convince Wenger to sell Fabregas by adding Balotelli to their offer. Arsene Wenger sent scouts a few times to watch Balotelli and if we consider the player situation at Inter the deal could be done succesfully.
