RUMOURS: Fabregas to reject China move

The Spanish midfielder will turn down a big money transfer to the Chinese Super League in order to play in a more competitive league

Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas is set to reject a possible move to China in order to play football at a higher level, according to Marca.

The World Cup winner had been offered €31 million a season to play in the Chinese Super League, but is not interested in leaving for what he perceives to be a less competitive league.

Fabregas has found himself on the fringes at Stamford Bridge this season, but has played in six Premier League games under new manager Antonio Conte as he battles for a regular spot in the starting XI.
