Barcelona vice-president Josep Maria Bartomeu has insisted that midfielder Cesc Fabregas is "completely non-transferable" amid interest from Manchester United.

The Premier League champions are said to have lodged a bid in the region of £25m for the former Arsenal captain, who has claimed that he wants to stay at Camp Nou.

While there were suggestions that Barca could be open to offloading the Spain international, Bartomeu has told Sport: "Barca can ensure they will not entertain any offers for Cesc. He is completely non-transferable."

United manager David Moyes confirmed today during the club's pre-season tour that they are interested in the midfielder.
