Cesc Fabregas has been told by Chelsea that he is
free to find a new club, according to a report.
The latest report from the Sun claims that the 29-
year-old midfielder has been “brutally” informed
by manager Antonio Conte that he has no future at
Stamford Bridge.
It is believed that Conte held talks with Fabregas to
let him know that “his days at Stamford Bridge are
numbered”.
The former Arsenal and Barcelona midfielder was a
noticeable absentee in Chelsea’s 3-0 win over
Burnley on Saturday, with reports in Spain claiming
Conte will try and force him out in the final few
days of this summer’s transfer window.
Fabregas has made just one substitute
appearance in 12 minutes this season for the west
Londoners, who have won all three of their Premier
League games.
He has slipped down the pecking order following
the £30million signing of N’Golo Kante, who has
established himself in central midfield alongside
Nemanja Matic.
Juventus are among the clubs who have been
linked with a move for Fabregas following the
landmark sale of Paul Pogba this summer.
Juventus have already brought in Miralem Pjanic
from Serie A title rivals Roma this summer, but are
still looking to add one or two quality additions in
the middle of the park.
Fabregas has spent the last two years at Chelsea
after a £30million move from Barcelona and was a
key figure in the team’s title success in 2014-15.
Before his second spell of three years at boyhood
club Barca, the 29-year-old spent eight seasons at
Arsenal and captained the team for three years
before a £30million transfer to Camp Nou in 2011.
The playmaker is under contract at Chelsea until
the summer of 2019.
