Andres Iniesta believes Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas could join him at Barcelona this summer, and says his international team-mate is “calm” about his current situation.
The Gunners midfielder has long been linked with a return to the Catalan giants after leaving the club to move to north London in 2003.
Iniesta told La Sexta: "I think that it's possible that the transfer will go ahead. I hope it does. I recently spoke with him by phone and he's very calm."
The Barcelona star also hit out at Real Madrid and Jose Mourinho for their conduct following the club's Champions League exit at the hands of Pep Guardiola’s men last season.
"Everybody has the freedom to do with his team whatever he wants. What Mourinho does with Real Madrid is not our business. However, certain things are simply not done and he crossed the line," he said.
"The truth is that there were a number of very uncomfortable moments and the lines of sportsmanship were crossed more than once."

Xavi says he hopes Barcelona will be able to sign Cesc Fabregas from Arsenal this summer.
The Gunners skipper has been linked with a move back to Camp Nou throughout the summer, with the Catalan giants believed to have made a second bid for him last week.
But Xavi admits that his fellow Spain international is in a difficult situation at the moment.
He was quoted as saying by Sport: "We all know Cesc and I really hope that the transfer goes ahead.
"He finds himself in a tough situation where he wants to move to Barcelona, but can't sign here because of his current club. Hopefully the move will take place, though, as he would really add something to the team."
Xavi is also hopeful his side can complete the signing of Udinese’s Alexis Sanchez, who he says would “fit in perfectly” at Camp Nou.
"I know Alexis pretty well because we played against each other at the 2010 World Cup. He is an outstanding player and it would be an extraordinary transfer if we manage to sign him," he added.
"I have closely followed him at Udinese and he plays at such a high level. He's physically very strong and is incredibly dangerous in one-on-one situations. He's always working hard for the team and is simply a great player. He would fit in perfectly at Barcelona."
