The 27 year old is said to have passed a
medical with the west London club earlier in
the week and will be handed a £200k a week
deal .
Jose Mourinho will look to bring in Fabregas
to act as a direct replacement for Frank
Lampard, with the Blues veteran on his way
to the MLS to join new franchise New York
City FC.
Fabregas may be one of a number of first
team regulars sold by the Nou Camp side as
new boss Luis Enrique looks to re-shuffle his
Barcelona squad after a trophy-less season
under Gerardo Martino.
The Spanish international midfielder became
something of a scapegoat for last season's
failures but did manage to register 13 goals
in all competitions as well as finishing the
campaign as the club's leading assist maker.
Though perhaps Fabregas's return to
Barcelona hasn't proven as big a success as
he would have liked the playmaker still
provided a consistent contribution in the final
third, scoring 42 goals and providing 48
assists in 151 appearances for the Catalan
giants.
