Cesc Fabregas can not decide between Arsenal and Barcelona

Arsenal captain, 23, has been courted by the Catalan club, where he began his career, but the English side has rejected the advances of champions, including an offer of 29 million pounds (35 million euros) last month.

In an interview with Catalan-style magazine published Thursday DIR Emotions, Cesc said: "I'm from Barcelona . I am a partner, and my grandfather, my uncle, my cousin ... I feel these colors since childhood, I am Catalan. "

"However, I am the captain of Arsenal, a 'gunner'" he added. "And there I've done I've matured as a player and person."

The attacking midfielder, a member of the Spanish team winning the World Cup, saw the selection of his companions forced him to wear a Barca shirt during the celebrations in Madrid for the World Cup.

The question of whether or not actually put one in the near future remains an open question.

Arsene Wenger said on Wednesday he had no intention of selling Cesc and the player said his close relationship with Arsenal had been thinking a lot about the subject.

Fabregas joined Arsenal when he was 16 in 2003 and has matured in the club, with 267 appearances and 48 goals in all competitions.

"It is a second father to me, the most important person in my life after my father. It has been very good to me and welcomed me like a son, I'm part of his family," said Fabregas.

"He does not want me to go, and my last conversation with him in London was one of the most difficult moments I've experienced. I was very touched."

The midfielder is expected to continue talking to Wenger about his future when he returns to the club next week.
