CESC FABREGAS will be sealing his dream move to Barcelona.
Arsenal are set to agree a £35.9m fee with Barcelona – plus add-ons – should Fabregas win major tournaments.
But the fee also includes £900,000 a year which Fabregas has agreed to pay Arsenal out of his own wages over the next five years of his Barca contract.
All that remains is for Fabregas, 24, to thrash out personal terms to bring to an end a three-year saga.
Now Samir Nasri is expected to follow him out to join Manchester City.
The French midfielder, 24, is in the final year of his contract and, even though Wenger claimed he would let him run it down, the Emirates bean counters were not happy.
City are prepared to pay Nasri £180,000-a-week wages in a £25m swoop and the deal could be done before the weekend.
Now with two of his major players leaving would Arsene Wegner consider leaving also just before the Premier Season kicks off? Surely Wegner is annoyed over the loss of such quality players and seemingly little sign of any equal quality players coming in.
