Fabregas’ current deal runs out in the summer and the Blues are yet to give the former Arsenal and Barcelona midfielder assurances over whether a new deal will be offered. The west London club have a policy in place in which players over the 30 are only offered extensions of on year.

Up against new signings Mateo Kovačić and Jorginho for a place in midfield, as well as his own injury problems, Fabregas remains keen to fight his way back into the team.

However, should he fail to force his way back in, his representatives are already on the lookout for a new club. The Spaniard was tentatively linked with a switch to Milan in the summer.
