Arsenal skipper Cesc Fabregas has his heart set on playing for Barcelona next season, according to his Spain team-mate Gerard Pique.
The 23-year-old, who came through the Barca youth system with Pique, has been a peripheral figure in his country's World Cup campaign, but he is being tipped to make a bigger impact if he seals a move to the Nou Camp.
Pique claims Fabregas has spent much of down time between matches in the company of the players he hopes to be club team-mates in the years to come.
"I have known that Cesc wanted to join Barcelona for many years - but now it is more than about wanting to do it," the former Manchester United defender Pique told the Daily Star.
"Now it is something he feels he must do.
"The World Cup has not been a good thing for Arsenal.
"It has meant that he has been spending every day with myself, Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Victor Valdes - and he has made his feelings very clear to us.
"He is keeping his mind focused on Spain but his heart is in Barcelona. I think already in his heart he is wearing a Barcelona shirt next season."
