Cesc Fabregas has told L'Equipe he
would have happily stayed at
Arsenal for the rest of his career if a
return to Barcelona had not come to
fruition.
The former Gunners captain was
believed to have agitated for a move
away from the Premier League
when he was made aware of
Barcelona's interest, but he says this
was not the case, stating his love of
London and Arsenal.
"It was a dream of mine to play for
Barca, but I was not bitter at
Arsenal," he said. "On the contrary, I
was living somewhere which, for
me, was the most beautiful city in
the world, I was in an incredible
team with a superb coach and
supporters I adored.
"It was not a question of life or
death. If Barca had not come in for
me, I would have played my whole
career at Arsenal. That was certain."
Fabregas, 25, has also revealed that
he took a cut in pay to move back to
Spain in 2011, underlining his
dedication to the Catalan club.
"Yes, there are teams who pay
better," he said. "But it was always
clear to me. Either go to Barca or
stay at Arsenal. The last thing on my
mind was money& I have come to
Barca and I earn less."
