Cesc Fabregas could be on the move before the end of the current transfer window.

The Chelsea midfielder was left-out of Antonio Conte’s side for their 2-1 win over West Ham, with Nemanja Matic and N’Golo Kante starting in central midfield, behind Oscar in a more advanced position.

Victor Moses even got a run-out as a late substitute, but Fabregas remained on the bench at Stamford Bridge.

According to a report in The Mirror, the 29-year-old has been offered to a host of European clubs, including Real Madrid.

Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona and Juventus are also understood to have been offered the player.

The two La Liga clubs have reportedly passed-up the chance to sign the Spanish midfielder. Madrid are heavily stocked with creative midfielders and Barcelona have just signed Andre Gomes.

Fabregas joined Chelsea from Barcelona in 2014. The former Arsenal captain had a brilliant first season at Stamford Bridge, winning the Premier League title and setting-up a number of goals for his teammates.

However, like the rest of the Chelsea squad, he struggled last season and reportedly isn’t considered to be a key player by new manager Conte for the season ahead.
