Thierry Henry and Fabregas both own shares in the club, which secured a place in Serie A by finishing second last season.
And as they prepare for their first season in the top division in 21 years, they are making many moves in the transfer market.
Four loan contracts became permanent deals, including that of Brazilian star Gabriel Strefezza.
But they also quickly improved their attacking options by signing Italian international Andrea Belotti, who comes from Rome.
Now they are ready to add even more star power to their team with three men who have previously played in the Premier League.
At the top of that list is Raphael Varane, who left Manchester United on a free transfer this summer.
The French superstar has struggled with numerous injuries but now wants to breathe new life into his career in Italy.
And he may be joined by two former Spanish internationals.

The contracts of the two, aged 41 and 32, have expired and they are ready for a new beginning.
Meanwhile, Como are also trying to sign midfielder Rodri Sanchez from Real Betis.
