Cesc Fabregas is the first Spaniard to play 300 Premier League games
The Spain star was linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge in last month’s transfer window after failing to command a starting role under Antonio Conte.
But the 29-year-old insists the only team he wants to play for in Europe is the Blues.
Former Arsenal ace Fabregas was handed his first league start of the year for Saturday’s 3-1 win over Swansea, scoring the first and setting up Pedro for the second.
He dismissed any suggestion though that he has been looking to leave.
"For sure, it’s Chelsea I’m thinking about,” he said. “Until the day Chelsea tell me they don’t want me, I can leave - and it happens to everyone. Then you have to move on.
"When my brain says you can’t do it anymore then I will move, probably away from Europe.
"When you’ve been at the top...Arsenal, Barcelona, the Spanish team has been so successful.
"I don’t want to plan things. But when I feel I’m not at the top, top level any more then it will be the right time to go.
"But for now, it’s all about Chelsea and performing here. Remember I’m only 29, I’ve played a long time.”
Fabregas laughed off talk he is considering a move to China where huge salaries are being paid, saying: “China - I’m only 29!”
He has spoken before about seeing out his career in the US, like Steven Gerrard and Chelsea legend Frank Lampard.
"I think every time I plan something it never goes the way it’s supposed to,” he said. “I’m not thinking about that now.”
