Barcelona president Sandro Rosell has admitted Arsenal captain Cesc Fábregas is unlikely to wear the Blaugrana shirt next season.

Rosell says there are currently no talks between the two sides over a deal for the 23-year-old, who is under contract with the Gunners until June 2015.

"Arsenal feel very hurt by Barça," Rosell told Catalan TV3.

"They don't want to listen to offers or sell and they are not putting the player on the market.

But Rosell remains confident Barcelona will get their former youth player eventually, if not this term then next.

He added: "Fábregas will come, even if it is not now, it will be next year. We will see.

"One thing that is certain is that we will not be throwing the house at trying to sign him. No shareholder would pay €60 million or €70 million for him. We would only pay his value in the transfer market."
