Antonio Conte has reportedly told Cesc Fabregas he can leave the club before Wednesday’s transfer deadline day, according to Sunday Express.
The Spain international has only been involved in one Premier League game this season, as he came on for a 12 minute cameo against Watford last week to assist Diego Costa’s last minute winner.
Despite an instant impact then, Fabregas could be off the club as he doesn’t seem to be in Antonio Conte’s first-team plans for the season.
Central midfielders Nemanja Matic, Oscar and N’Golo Kanté are all seen as more defensive minded players than Fabregas, and Conte is aiming to build a more defensively-determined group above the weak-ish back-four we currently have.
It’s believed that Juventus are the favourites to sign Fabregas, as the Italian side are looking to strenghten their midfield after losing Paul Pogba to Manchester United earlier this summer.
The Italian is keen to add at least one more midfielder to his squad before transfer window closes on Wednesday night, while fringe players like John Obi Mikel and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are also hoping for more playing time.
