AC Milan are reportedly in contact with Cesc Fabregas' representatives and could launch a move for the Chelsea midfielder in January following a string of injuries at the San Siro.
Calciomercato.com reported Fabregas is being eyed as a potential cut-price signing, with the Spaniard's contract at Stamford Bridge due to expire at the end of this season.
Milan midfielders Giacomo Bonaventura and Lucas Biglia were recently sidelined with knee ligament and calf injuries, respectively, which is said to have pushed the Rossoneri to intensify their search for winter recruits.
Fabregas, 31, has made three Premier League appearances this season but is yet to start a top-flight match under Maurizio Sarri, who doesn't appear to have the playmaker high in his plans.
