Barcelona Readying £50 Million Transfer Bid For Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas - Report Sandro Rosell, the favoured candidate to take over Joan Laporta as Barcelona’s president this summer, is preparing to make a bid of £50 million (€56 million) to take Arsenal’s Cesc Fabregas back to the Catalan giants, seven years on from his original move, according to The Daily Mail. Rosell will be using the potential signing of Fabregas as his main promotion technique to ensure his future election as Barcelona president. Fabregas, who scored against his former club on Wednesday in the 2-2 UEFA Champions League draw, fractured his leg prior to scoring Arsenal's equalising penalty. Under contract until 2014, the Arsenal captain has made 35 appearances for Arsenal this season, scoring 19 goals. http://is.gd/bdQ9J

Inter coach Jose Mourinho is the leading candidate to take over at Real Madrid this summer, according to Marca. Manuel Pellegrini's position at the Spanish giants is under threat, after his early elimination from the Champions League and more recently the loss of ground in the La Liga title race after a 2-0 loss to Barcelona on Saturday. Real Madrid spent extraordinary amounts last summer to bring in star players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka, but may end up trophyless at the end of the current campaign. The paper claimed that Pellegrini 'was unable to control the locker room and showed a lack of personality in big matches'. Mourinho is listed as the man in pole position to take over, while Rafa Benitez, Fabio Capello, Luiz Felipe Scolari and Carlo Ancelotti were also mentioned in a poll on the daily's website. The Portuguese tactician has endured a difficult relationship with the Italian press, suggesting his efforts in the peninsula are not appreciated. In the past, he has spoken of his desire to earn a Spanish title, but also reiterated he is committed to Inter in the near future.
