Arsenal, Chelsea and AC Milan face competition for Barcelona outcast

Both Chelsea and Arsenal were understood to be interested in the Spanish midfielder, who has been frozen out at the Nou Camp.

But Italian publication Calciomercato  claim Milan are keen to bolster their ranks in the January window and they could offer him regular first-team football.

Chelsea already have Jorginho, N’Golo Kante, Ross Barkley, and Mateo Kovacic as regulars in Maurizio Sarri’s three-man midfield.

Cess Fabregas has been forced to watch most of this season from the sidelines and could leave Stamford Bridge in January.

Arsenal also have strong competition in the middle of the park, with Granit Xhaka and Lucas Torrerira Unai Emery’s preferred pairing.


It is claimed that Suarez's preferred destination is the Gunners.

However, Blues boss Sarri is a long-term admirer having tried to sign him for former club Napoli.

Suarez, 24, has only played twice this season - one start in the Copa del Rey and a late substitute appearance in the Champions League.

And he is said to be fed up at being a bit-part player under manager Ernesto Valverde.

Valverde is reported to have angered four more Barca players, with Arturo Vidal, Ousmane Dembele and Rafinha all looking for more first-team minutes.
French winger Dembele, 21, has also been linked with a hist of the Premier League’s top clubs.

Liverpool are understood to be monitoring his situation, along with Arsenal and Chelsea.
