Manchester City have denied
speculation that they are interested in
Barcelona duo Cesc Fabregas and
Sergio Busquets, stating that they have
not made an offer, and are not
planning to either.
Reports had suggested that City had
made contact with the Spanish giants
about the availability of former
Arsenal man Fabregas, and also
Busquets, who made his 50th
appearance for his national team in
the 1-1 draw against France.
However, the English club are
adamant that this is not the case and
that they will not be enquiring about
the Spanish duo.
A Manchester City statement said:
"There's no basis to these claims and
the club has neither made nor is it
planning to make an offer for these
players."
City strengthened their midfield in the
summer with the acquisition of Javi
Garcia from Benfica, though they did
also see Netherlands international
Nigel de Jong leave for Milan.
Fabregas left Arsenal for Camp Nou in
summer 2011, for an initial fee
believed to be in the region of £23.5
million, while Busquets has been at
the club his entire career, joining the
youth team in 2005.
