According to Italian sports website sportmediaset.it, Cesc Fàbregas is A.C. Milan’s summer target for next season. The website reports that the club already met with the player’s agent, Darren Dein, as other websites are now confirming.

This, if true, consolidates my theory that the captaincy was Arsene Wenger’s desperate move to keep the Spaniard at the Emirates. Cesc already commented on the fact that he misses Hleb and Flamini and the pressure is too much as he’s the only experienced midfielder, hence a possible move comes to no surprise. The Italian giants did show interest in Cesc after last season’s Champions League tie, out of which Flamini and Senderos joined them and Adebayor was the club’s sole summer target.

I still believe silverware is the key to Cesc’s loyalty to the club although if he decides to leave, it will be for Barcelona and not A.C. Milan. For now, let’s just hope that these are the usual transfer rumours around Cesc, especially now that we’re back in the title race and he’s starting to find last season’s formidable form.
