Cesc Fabregas has outlined his plans to stay at Chelsea beyond the January transfer window.
As reported by the London Evening Standard, the Spanish midfielder has revealed that he is ready to turn down interest from Milan, providing more game time is in the offing at Stamford Bridge. When asked if he’d had discussions about a transfer in January, Fabregas said:
No, I haven’t spoken to anyone. Obviously in January, I can sign with whoever I want (a pre-contract agreement for the summer) and probably this will attract many clubs. But so far, from what I can say right now, yes I will stay here until the end of the season. I play at Stamford Bridge, I’m happy, but of course every player wants to play more.
Fabregas has been heavily linked with a move to the San Siro in January, with reports claiming that transfer talks have already taken place.
Milan have been long-term admirers of the midfield maestro and have been hoping to land him on the cheap.
Fabregas’ interest in the move does not appear to be reciprocated, with the player keen to remain in London.
The midfielder rolled back the years on Thursday night with a brilliant performance against PAOK in the Europa League. He showed Maurizio Sarri what he can offer as he dictated play in a comfortable victory for the Blues.
