From Spain: Fabregas was close to Juventus before Monaco move

Cesc Fabregas left Chelsea to join Monaco in the January transfer market. Amid the negotiations, there was also a lot of talk of a possible move to AC Milan, however, according to reports from Spain, Juventus was the Italian side closer to securing the services of the Spanish midfielder.

According to Mundo Deportivo, the Bianconeri took the most important steps to sign the former Arsenal and Barcelona man. The player evaluated Juve's proposal but ended up preferring a softer adventure with Monaco in Ligue 1, where there he reunited with his former teammate Thierry Henry but only for several weeks.
