Chelsea plan summer move for Fabregas

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is planning a summer swoop for Cesc Fabregas, according to The Sun.

After splashing out for Fernando Torres and David Luiz, Roman Abramovich is eager to continue reinforcing the team and he is prepared to try and bring Cesc Fabregas to Stamford Bridge.

The Spanish midfield maestro has been linked with a return to Barcelona as the Catalans are ready to reignite their interest in the La Macia graduate after having a £40 million bid rejected last summer.

Fabregas has hinted on numerous occasions that he would love to return to Barca, but the £60 million price tag slapped by Arsene Wenger is proving to be a stumbling block for the Catalans.

However, Roman Abramovich will try to hijack any Barca bid in the summer as reports suggest he is willing to offer £50 million for the Spain international.

The possible obstacles to the move could be Fabregas’ desire to join Barcelona as well as his devotion to Arsenal fans, so the Blues will have a lot of persuading to do if they are to land the Gunners star.
