Cesc Fabregas 'offered to Juventus' as Italian champions search for Paul Pogba
Chelsea are prepared to sell Cesc Fabregas to Juventus, according to reports in Italy.
The Serie A champions are seeking a replacement for Paul Pogba who this week joined Manchester United in a £100million deal.
They had hoped to lure Chelsea's Nemanja Matic to Turin but their advances have been rebuffed by the Stamford Bridge club.

Instead, Juventus have reportedly been offered Fabregas in a deal which could be worth £45m.
Italian newspaper Tuttosport led with the headline, 'Juve, want Fabregas?' on Friday morning.
Juventus' shortlist of replacements for Pogba also included Belgian midfielder Axel Witsel but he has elected to see out the final year of his contract at Zenit St Petersburg.
Paris Saint-Germain's Blaise Matuidi was another target but the French champions have no interest in selling.

Fabregas made an instant impression during his first year at Chelsea following his £30m move from Barcelona in 2014.
But the Spaniard failed to hit the same heights last season as the Blues struggled to a tenth-place finish.
The 29-year-old was sent off in pre-season against Liverpool but has been a regular in the side under new boss Antonio Conte.
Fabregas trained alongside his team-mates this week after returning from a break in his homeland with girlfriend.
Chelsea start their Premier League campaign at home to West Ham on Monday.
