Cesc fires his agent

Spanish blog El Soplón reports that Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fàbregas (20) has broken all ties with his agent Joseba Díaz, who brought the player from Barcelona to Arsenal. The decision would be inspired by the family of the player, and especially his mother, who didn't like the frequent media appearances of Díaz and who blocked a possible transfer to Real Madrid in the summer of 2006. Player's agent Mariano Aguilar is for the moments handling some issues for the player.

Catalan sports paper El Mundo Deportivo thinks this new situation could affect the renewal negotiations between Cesc and Arsenal. The player didn't want to react to the news. Earlier this month Catalan sports paper Sport suggested the dismissal of Díaz could be a first move towards a future return of the Spanish international to Barcelona (read more here).

Meanwhile, asked about rumours linking him with different clubs, amongst others Barcelona, Cesc said in an interview with Madrid tabloid As: "I don't see a reason to leave Arsenal. It would be a mistake."
