Puyol claims Fabregas is being held at Arseanl against his will.
Fabregas has long been linked with a return to Barcelona.
“He is having to stay at a club where he no longer wants to be for another year,” Puyol said in The Sun.
“I wonder how intelligent it is keeping a player who doesn’t want to be there.
“After seven years of great service, I thought Arsenal could have granted him his dream move.”
“Cesc has given everything to Arsenal to try to win a trophy but they haven’t matched his expectations,” added Puyol.
“I won’t say he is in a prison, as we know how privileged we are as football players.
“But after how clear Cesc made it that he wanted to be in Barcelona, I thought they would have granted him that.”
