Arsenal remains one of the most talked about clubs this offseason following their mediocre 2012-2013 campaign that ended without any trophies.

Despite the fact that manager Arsene Wenger hasn't reeled in multiple players yet may surprise some considering the club does have a substantial amount of financial wiggle room heading into next season but with 7 weeks remaining in the transfer window, expect things to pick up for The Gunners.
One move the fourth place finisher in the Premier League could make before the start of the 2013-2014 season is to bring back one of the game's most high profile players.
According to Daily Mail, current Barcelona star Cesc Fabregas may be unhappy with his current situation at Camp Nou and in preparation for his possible desire to depart the place he's called home for the last 2 seasons, Arsenal has prepared a £25m offer.

Publicly, the Spaniard maintains he wants to stay at the Nou Camp, but doubts over how he fits into manager Tito Vilanova's plans after being regularly overlooked for big games last season has left Fabregas in two minds.
And the Gunners are poised to strike should the midfielder decide his future lies elsewhere with the Emirates Stadium club being kept updated on developments regarding the 26-year-old's future as the summer progresses.
A deal to re-sign Fabregas will be relatively straightforward to conclude. As part of the deal that took Fabregas back to Spain, Arsenal secured a £25million first-option clause as part of the transfer.
Should Barca decide to sell Fabregas, the Gunners would have first refusal on the midfielder at a fixed price of £25million.

The 26-year-old spent 8 seasons with Arsenal, helping the club win the 2005 FA Cup. Recording 57 goals and 100 assists in 303 total appearances with The Gunners from 2003 through 2011, Fabregas established himself as one of soccer's premier midfielders.
Though Arsenal has certainly shown a heightened level of interest in their former superstar, the International Business Times reports that the club may elect to focus on a position of need, mainly in the defensive midfield category. Lars Bender of Bayern Leverkusen no longer seems like an option while the acquisition of Everton's Marouane Fellaini is slowly diminishing in opportunity, leaving Arsenal searching for added options.
Regardless of what Arsenal elects to do with their finances this transfer season remains to be seen but you can be sure fans everywhere will be keeping an eye on their developing situations, especially if the return of Cesc Fabregas remains an open topic.
