Four clubs reject Fabregas signing

The 'Daily Star' is claiming that the quartet of top clubs did not want the Spaniard.

It is thought that the midfielder is not in Antonio Conte's long-term plans and that the Italian was trying to offload the former Arsenal and Barcelona man.

Fabregas joined Chelsea in 2014 from Barcelona where he enjoyed a successful first season for the club, winning the Premier League title.

However, the 29-year-old was part of a Chelsea side that struggled last season and will face added competition for a place in the side with the arrival of N'Golo Kante.
