Cesc Fabregas's proposed switch from Chelsea to AC Milan may hinge on his wife Daniella Semaan, according to a report.

The Spanish midfielder is rumoured to be a top January target for the Italian giants after entering the final six months of his Stamford Bridge contract.

Fabregas has fallen out of favour at Chelsea, starting just one Premier League game under Maurizio Sarri, but he recently revealed that he is likely to remain in West London until next summer.

A report carried by The Sun suggests that Rossoneri have a new secret weapon in their bid to sign the 31-year-old, however, as his spouse is said to value an experience in Milan.

Chelsea will reportedly still push ahead with plans to offer Fabregas a new long-term deal in the coming weeks.
