Milan face competition from Juventus for midfielder

Chelsea face a battle to retain Cesc Fabregas’ services in January, reports the Daily Mirror. 

The Spaniard has played a bit-part role for Antonio Conte’s side this season and has registered just 32 minutes of Premier League action from the opening five matches. 

The 29-year-old was heavily linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge over the summer, yet remained in west London. 

However, he could seek a move away from the Blues despite Conte insisting the midfielder is part of his plans, with AC Milan keen on taking Fabregas on loan before the transfer window closed. 

They, though, would face competition from Serie A champions Juventus, should Chelsea entertain offers for Fabregas in the new year.
