(GSM) – Carles Puyol has hit out at Arsenal for not allowing Cesc Fàbregas to move to Barcelona this summer.

Fàbregas has been linked with a return to his boyhood club all summer long and the Arsenal skipper has expressed his desire to join Barca several times since the end of last season.

However, the Gunners have rejected every bid from the Catalans and do anything to keep the Spanish midfielder at the Emirates. Puyol can’t understand why Arsenal are keeping a player at the club that wants to leave.

“He is having to stay at a club where he no longer wants to be for another year,” he said in The Sun.

“I wonder how intelligent it is keeping a player who doesn’t want to be there.

“After seven years of great service, I thought Arsenal could have granted him his dream move.”

Fàbregas has made his intentions clear that he wants to return to Barcelona one day, and Puyol believes the Gunners should allow him to fulfull his wish this summer because of his performances for Arsenal over his seven years at the club.

“Cesc has given everything to Arsenal to try to win a trophy but they haven’t matched his expectations,” added Puyol.

“I won’t say he is in a prison, as we know how privileged we are as football players.

“But after how clear Cesc made it that he wanted to be in Barcelona, I thought they would have granted him that.”

    Why don’t you all just shut up Barca if Cesc wanted that move why did he extend his contract and accept £3m the only reason he said anything is because all the barca players keep winding him up. Once he’s back at the Emirates he will soon settle down at least until 2012 when Spain get back together for another competition when it will all start over again.
