Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is demanding Barcelona include Thiago Alcantara in their offer for Cesc Fabregas.
The Sunday Express says Wenger is demanding Barcelona cough up £25million AND hand over wonderkid Thiago before they let Fabregas jet off to the Nou Camp.
The Gunners accept their skipper wants to join his childhood heroes but are playing hard-ball over the fee.
Barcelona have had two bids turned down, the latest £30m offer falling £10m short of Arsenal’s asking price.But Arsene Wenger is willing to reach a compromise agreement with the European Under-21 Championship winning midfielder heading to the Emirates.
Thiago, 20, is so highly rated at Barcelona that the club recently warded off interest fromManchester United by handing him a contract extension that ties him to his club until 2015 and has an £80m buyout clause.
Wenger knows he is in the driving seat though and is determined to get a fair price for Fabregas
