Barcelona have denied brokering a deal with Arsenal not to try and bring Spain international Cesc Fabregas back to Camp Nou.
Gunners chairman Peter Hill-Wood claimed on Wednesday informal talks between the clubs had taken place over Fabregas' future.
It was understood that Barca were happy with their current crop of stars and would not be making a move for the 22-year-old this summer.
Barca have held a long-standing interest in the talented playmaker, who left the Catalan giants as a teenager in September 2003.
However, technical secretary Txiki Begiristain insists nothing has been agreed with Arsenal and that if they want Fabregas they will hold transfer talks
"If Barcelona think that he is necessary for the team, they will go for him, always respecting negotiations," he told Spanish newspaper AS .
"We have never said that we will not try to sign Cesc Fabregas. We will see what happens."
