Cesc Fábregas can finally be called an ex-Arsenal player after signing a 5 year contract with his boyhood club Barcelona on Monday.
The Spanish star who began his footballing career in the Catalan giants' youth academy has returned to his footballing roots after a transfer saga thats lasted almost 3 years.
Arsenal finally agreed to a fee, estimated to be around £35 million, on Sunday while Barcelona reported that after medical exams over the weekend the newest addition to the Camp Nou was in perfect physical condition.The total cost of Fábregas' move is unknown but many believe Cesc to have waved the £4 million compensation he would be entitled to for the remainder of his contract from the Gunners.
Barca have made sure Fábregas is a long term investment by not only giving the 24 year old a 5 year contract but also slapping on a £175 million (200 million euros) buy-out clause to deter would-be suitors from snapping up Cesc in the near future.
Barca's spending looks to be over for now having also picked up Udinese star Alex Sanchez in early August.
