Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas has turned down a £29.5 million-a-year move to a Chinese Super League club, according to Marca.
The 29-year-old has fallen out of favour with boss Antonio Conte and has made only six Premier League appearances since N’Golo Kante’s arrival from Leicester City in the summer.
Fabregas’ lack of game time has sparked speculation that he could leave Chelsea when the transfer window re-opens in January.
Reportedly, an unknown Chinese club has offered the Spaniard huge wages but the quality of the league does not interest him.
Fabregas is still determined to be a success at Stamford Bridge and wants to fight for his place within the team.
Additionally, Conte has expressed his desire at keeping the former Barcelona trainee at the club.
“Cesc is an important player for us,” Conte told the Express. “We all know his quality, it’s very clear.
“Today it was important to change the cards on the table and find a new solution to cut the point of reference for West Brom. I put on a player who is very good technically, and with a great personality.”
Fabregas is also rumoured to be on the wish list of Serie A giants AC Milan and Roma. However, a move anywhere looks unlikely until the end of the season.
