Cesc Fabregas has reiterated that he has not received any offers from any clubs to tempt him away from Barcelona.

The former Arsenal man has been linked with a return to the Barclays Premier League following a difficult season with the Catalans last term, with Manchester United believed to be keen to take him to Old Trafford so he can join up with his former Gunners team-mate Robin van Persie.

But, during an interview with Movistar, Fabregas insisted: "People talk a lot but the truth is that no-one has spoken with me. I want to triumph in Barcelona, that club is my home and I always dreamed of playing there, so I will try and succeed there as long as I can."

Next year Fabregas will be playing alongside new signing Neymar, who joined Barcelona earlier this month.

The Spaniard believes the Brazilian has the capabilities to light up the Nou Camp but said he must be given time to bed in after moving club, league and country.

"Neymar will need time to adapt because he is coming from a completely different type of football from what he will find here. We need to help him settle in and grow so that he can give us great nights," said Fabregas.

He also dismissed talk that there could be a clash of egos between Neymar and Leo Messi.

"The egos are very controlled in the team," he said. "Messi has won the Ballon d'Or four times and is probably the best player of all time but when you see him every morning he doesn't seem like it."

Although Neymar cost Barcelona an estimated 57million euros, Fabregas raised alarm at the possibility of the club's biggest rivals Real Madrid spending 100million to buy Gareth Bale from Tottenham.

"For me spending 100million on Gareth Bale is foolish, I don't know how any club could spend that amount of money in these circumstances," he said. "He is a great player with all the right attributes, but we will have to see if Madrid sign him and if he can perform there."

Neymar transfer cost Barcelona 57 million - club

Barcelona vice-president Josep Maria Bartomeu said on Monday the signing of Brazilian international Neymar has cost the club 57 million euros.

The 21-year-old was officially paraded as a Barca player at the Camp Nou earlier on Monday after the club reached an agreement with his old club Santos and the player himself last month.

And Bartomeu ended speculation about how much the Spanish champions had paid for Neymar, although he refused to specify how much each of the parties involved in the deal had received individually on confidentiality grounds.

As well as Santos, investment companies DIS and Teisa who owned part of the player's economic rights were bought by Barca.

"Barcelona have all the sporting and economic rights of the player," he told a press conference.

"This operation, at a cost of 57 million euros, has been done without intermediaries or agents just with the four companies involved."

Of the 57 million, Barca had already paid 10 last year in anticipation of sealing the deal for around 40 million euros in total.

However, Bartomeu admitted that the late interest shown by rivals Real Madrid and another club had made the deal more expensive.

"The operation has been made more expensive due to the interest of other clubs that interfered in the signing of Neymar.

"It was forseen that Neymar would arrive in 2014. To bring the move forward we have had to pay this 17 million euros more."

Bartomeu also confirmed that as part of the deal Barca will play two friendlies against Santos, with one taking place at the Camp Nou and the other in Brazil, whilst the player's buyout clause will be 190 million euros.

The club's sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta also hailed the signing of the Brazilian prodigy and believes there won't be any issue with Neymar fitting into Barca's current system alongside Lionel Messi.

"Neymar has a style that fits perfectly into ours," he said.

"It is never a problem to have too much talent or too many good players."
