The former Barcelona man was the one of the transfer priorities for Barcelona for a few seasons but they managed to take him back only this summer.

Fabregas joined Arsenal when he was only 16 years old in 2003 from Barcelona youth academy. Since then he made 303 appearances for Arsenal  and scored 57 goals.

The Spanish superstar was named Arsenal captain in 2008 and became the youngest Arsenal captain.

The transfer sum is around €29 millions but it could rise with 10 millions depending on performances. The 24 years old midfielder has signed a five years deal and will wear the number 4 at Barcelona.

Juventus will inaugurate the new stadium against Notts County in a friendly game on 8 September.

The Turin side are among the first teams from Serie A who will move to a new stadium. The Serie  A teams are sharing the stadiums unlike the England or Spanish clubs which have their own stadium. Also the marketing is better developed in England but the Italian clubs are trying to improve either.

Notts County is the oldest professional  team in the World. The English club was founded in 1862.

Notts County are playing in England League One.

Juventus will play their first official game on the new stadium against Parma in second game from this Serie A season. The first game of the season will be away against Udinese on 28 August.

The Turin side have already made a bid for the Peruvian international but Fiorentina are not willing to accept a bid less than €15 millions.

The first Juventus bid included a player and a sum of money but they are willing to increase their offer.

The 27 years old winger was on Real Madrid short list but the Spanish giants opted for Fabio Coentrao instead of him.

The Peruvian can play anywhere on the left side but performs best as a winger. Vargas is also a good free-kick taker.

Vargas arrived at Fiorentina for a sum of around €12 millions in the summer of 2008 and since then he became a key member of the squad.

Fiorentina are rebuilding the squad  and they already gave up on top earners. Mutu moved to Cesena, Frey to Genoa and Gilardino is also close to an exit.

Atletico Madrid sign Arda Turan from Galatasaray

Altetico Madrid have confirmed the signing of Turkish international Arda Turan from Galatasaray Istambul.

Atletico Madrid have not wasted the time after selling Kun Aguero to Manchester City. Arda Turan was on Atletico’s list for a few seasons now but they have not made the move until now.

The Spanish club is also in advanced negotiations for Falcao from Porto. It is supposed that Atletico Madrid have offered €25 millions plus Salvio.

The 24 years old midfielder will sign a four years deal with the Primera club. Turan is a product of Galatasaray youth academy and was promoted to the first team in 2004 by Gheorghe Hagi.

The talented midfielder has made 145 appearance for Galatasaray and scored 24 goals. At the national team he scored 11 goals in 44 appearances.

Chelsea to sign Lukaku

Chelsea have finally managed to sign Romelu Lukaku from Anderlecht. The 18 years old striker was one of the main targets for Chelsea since last winter but the Belgian club refused to sell him.

The Belgian wonderkid was one of the best players for Anderlecht last season and keeping him at the Belgian for another year was getting more and more difficult.

Lukaku is expected in London next week to undergo the medical exam and sign the contract with Chelsea.
The transfer sum is not know yet but the Anderlecht manager said that the move is profitable for both the player and the club.

With this move done Chelsea will probably sell one of Kalou or Anelka because there will be no room for them in the attack.

Lukaku made his senior debut at only 16 years old and is considered one of the best European youth product.
