Fabregas arrives for medical

Cesc Fabregas has arrived in Barcelona for his medical after Arsenal reached an agreement for his transfer.

Although a deal was expected to be announced on Friday, it was not until late on Sunday that the clubs confirmed an "agreement in principle'' was in place, and Barca president Sandro Rosell revealed the details of the transfer.

"It is not €40 million," he said on Sunday. "Barca will pay €29 million and we are very happy, because we said we would not pay more than 30 and we succeeded. On top of that, the variables are €5 million plus five others, but that will be discussed in more detail tomorrow.

Fabregas boarded a plane bound for his hometown and was present early on Monday morning to undergo medical tests.

Upon the announcement of the deal, manager Arsene Wenger said: "We have been clear that we didn't want Cesc to leave and that remains the case. However, we understand Cesc's desire to move to his home town club and have now accepted an offer from Barcelona. We thank Cesc for his contribution at Arsenal and wish him future success."

Fabregas is set to be handed the No. 4 shirt at Barca - his current number at Arsenal and the number worn by Pep Guardiola during his playing days at the club.
