Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola said the Catalan giants will "fight to the end" to bring Cesc Fabregas back to the club.

Guardiola, however, admitted that re-buying the Arsenal captain is not their priority since their main objective is signing Chile winger Alexis Sanchez. But Fabregas has been a long term-target of Barcelona.

"This year Arsenal has agreed to negotiate and we are working on it.

"Barcelona has made an offer, Arsenal another and we have time until 31 August and we'll try to reach an agreement," the 40-year-old was quoted as saying by The Guardian.

"There is a sum of money in the strong box set aside for this signing but if it doesn't work out it will be kept in the box for something else. We will fight to the end to try to get Cesc," he added.
