Cesc Fabregas admits he does not want to end his career at Stamford Bridge with Chelsea silent over new deal

Vaishali Bhardwaj5 October 2018

Cesc Fabregas says it is up to Chelsea to decide whether he will stay at the club past this season, although the midfielder admits he does not want to end his career at Stamford Bridge.

The 31-year-old will be out of contract at Chelsea - who he joined in 2014 - next summer with Fabregas revealing that no new offer of a deal has been handed to him by the club.

The World Cup and European Championship winner has lifted numerous titles at Chelsea, including two Premier League trophies, and says he shares a special bond with the fans and his teammates.

But Fabregas concedes his time at Stamford Bridge is drawing to an end as things currently stand although he would like to continue his progress at Chelsea.

When asked if he would be open to signing a new deal at Chelsea, Fabregas said: "Yeah I’m very open about it.

"To be the honest the club has not said anything. At the end of the day I have eight months left and at the moment I’m gone. But I’d love to stay at the club.

"I’ve been very happy for the last four years and a half, we’ve had great success, won many things. I think I have a good understanding with the fans and players. I feel I still have a lot of football left in me but it is now up to the club."

Despite having enjoyed his time at Chelsea, former Arsenal and Barcelona midfielder Fabregas admits he would like to play outside of Europe before retiring.

"No [I would not like to end his career at Chelsea]. I don’t think so.

"Probably in a few years I’d like to go away from Europe and experience something different at the later stage of my career. But for now I still feel really good."
