Fabregas is up for sale at Barcelona this summer with new boss Luis Enrique looking to overhaul his squad.

And Gunners boss Wenger is keen to bring the Spaniard back to the Emirates, despite competition from United.

New Red Devils boss Louis Van Gaal is believed to be interested in Fabregas, having turned his attention away from Bayern Munich star Toni Kroos.

But Wenger not only wants to re-sign Fabregas, but according to reports he is also keen on Real Sociedad winger Griezmann.

Fabregas is expected to go for around £35million, while French international Griezmann is rated at £18m.

However, Arsenal are looking into a convoluted deal involving buying Carlos Vela back in order to secure Griezmann.

Wenger and Fabregas remain close with the north London club inserting a back-back clause in the sale of the 27-year-old to Barcelona in 2011.

The FA Cup winning boss confirmed his interest in Griezmann earlier this season.

"We are following him [Griezmann] in great detail," Wenger said. "He attracts other clubs as well but we follow him, he is a known commodity."
