The Sun reports that Real Madrid director Jose Angel Sanchez has been in contact with the Gunners over a move for Fabregas.
A Real source told The Sun: “The president Florentino Perez has identified Fabregas as the one signing above all others to hurt Barcelona.
“He believes signing Fabregas would be a real statement of intent for next season. He will do whatever is needed to put the club back above Barca.”
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is reportedly ready to sanction a £100million spending spree this summer.
