Atletico Madrid to bring Chelsea's Cesc Fabregas back to Spain
Posted Saturday, October 13, 2018 by ESPN
After recently saying he'd like to stay at Chelsea and wished new manager Maurizio Sarri had taken over at the club sooner, Cesc Fabregas could reportedly be moving on from Stamford Bridge.
The Mirror reports that La Liga title contenders Atletico Madrid are ready to make a January move to bring the former Barcelona midfielder back to Spain.
Fabregas' contract with Chelsea expires in the summer of 2019 and the Blues could use the winter window to recoup at least some of the approximate €33 million fee they paid to bring him to the club in 2014.
The 31-year-old Fabregas was adamant that he has more to offer one of Europe's top clubs, and despite his desire to stay at Chelsea, the outlet reports "with Ross Barkley and Mateo Kovacic ahead of him in the pecking order and Sarri likely to see him as merely a back-up to Jorginho, the Spaniard could move on."
Atleti join AC Milan on the short list of potential suitors should the Spain international, who has 110 caps and 15 goals for La Roja, leave in search of regular minutes.
