El Mundo Deportivo claims the Spanish international will don the famous shirt next season after agreeing a deal with the Catalan giants.
The report also states that the 23-year-old will also be given the No.4 jersey and is expected to pen a five-year deal which will keep him at the club until June 2016.
However, Barcelona still have to negotiate the transfer with Arsenal who have already proven to be resistant to a move for their captain and talisman.
Indeed the Gunners rejected a bid from the Spanish championns for Fabregas back in June and have since insisted they have no intention of selling the World Cup winner.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has since denied the report, saying after the 1-1 draw with Leeds United on Saturday: "I have a good sense of humour, but I don't understand this one."
