Italian media outlet Il Corriere della Citta understands that Marseille have joined the race to sign Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas.
AC Milan were long believed to be leading the chase for the Spanish footballer having made a substantial offer, but latest reports from Italy claim l’OM now have the upper hand.
Marseille seem determined to build a squad capable of mounting a serious title challenge in French Ligue 1 and Cesc Fabregas is one of the high-profile footballers on their radar.
The Spaniard has struggled for playing time this season, but largely impressed each time he was called into action, having managed 4 goals and 9 assists in mere 10 Premier League starts.
Even though he has another two years left on his current deal, the 29-year-old appears to be considering his options and summer exit could be on the horizon.
Cesc Fabregas spent last three years at Stamford Bridge, making 96 Premier League appearances and scoring 12 goals.
