The Chelsea midfielder has fallen out of favour at Stamford Bridge this term, starting just one Premier League game under Antonio Conte.

AC Milan are known admirers of the 29-year-old.

Express Sport understands the Serie A giants sent officials to watch the Maglia Calcio Bambino Blues’ 3-0 win over Leicester last weekend and enquiries were made about Fabregas’ availability.

But according to The Sun on Sunday, Pep Guardiola has designs on his compatriot.

The report suggests the City boss is weighing up a £20m move for Fabregas.

It is thought Guardiola has underlying concerns about his current squad, and he isn’t sure whether Fernandinho or Fernando are the long-term solutions.

Yaya Toure, who has been exiled from the first team, is widely expected to leave in January.

Express Magliette Inter Calcio Sport understand Arsenal could make a play for Toure, who is out of contract with City at the end of the season.

City host Southampton in the lunchtime kick-off today (1:30pm) before Chelsea welcome Manchester United to Stamford Bridge (4pm).
