The Belarussian playmaker revealed that his great friend at Arsenal showed him around the Catalan capital on a previous trip and still loves the club where he began.
Fàbregas was strongly linked with a return to Camp Nou last summer and Hleb thinks that he could well be tempted back in next few years because of his feelings for the Blaugrana.
"He loves this club, and though he’s at Arsenal, who knows, maybe one day he’ll come back here," he explained. "He and Flamini were my best mates at Arsenal.
"I once came to Barcelona from London with Cesc, but that was only a day-trip and I saw little of the city which is now my home.”
While Hleb's words will not impress Arsène Wenger, the fact that the 27-year-old considers that only now has he joined a great club may anger a few Arsenal fans.
“It’s a great opportunity for me. Since I was seven my dream has been to play for a great club like Barça. I love Barça and I want to do my very best to try to win as many titles as possible," he continued.
“I know it’s a great team, with great players. What I want to do is to integrate, play good football with them and obviously win.”
Hleb will team up with Henry again at Barça and the pair were inseparable on when training together for the first time last Friday.
Accusations that they did not perform well together at Arsenal does not bother the former Stuttgart forward and he is delighted to be back alongside his friend.
"He’s my mate. We spent two years together. We understand each other and I’m real pleased to be back with him," Hleb added.
