Mourinho to use Fabregas in tempting Barcelona defender

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho will discuss his interest in Gerard Pique with former Barcelona man Cesc Fabregas in the coming days.

Spanish international defender Pique has been strongly linked with a return to the English Premier League, with his former club Manchester United reportedly keen to make a move next summer.

However, recent reports have claimed that Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is keen to work with the Catalan defender and make a £20m move.

Super agent Francois Gallardo has claimed that the defender is unhappy under new boss Luis Enrique and is keen to leave.

And, we understand that Mourinho will discuss his interest with former Barca man Cesc Fabregas, whom is close friends with Pique and his celebrity partner Shakira.

Cesc may well be used to tempt Pique into joining Chelsea, much like Mourinho tempted the midfielder to avoid a return to Arsenal and arrive at Stamford Bridge.
