C. Fabregas: I never thought about leaving "Chelsea"

Despite swirling rumors about his departure, London's "Chelsea" defender Cesc Fabregas confirmed his loyalty to his club.

The former "Arsenal" and "Barcelona" player has played little this season and there have been reports in the media about interest from Madrid's "Real."

However, the Spaniard has no intention of leaving the English capital.

"I never thought about leaving 'Chelsea.' Madrid? There may have been calls, or maybe not, but I don't think about leaving," Fabregas reassured Cadena COPE.

"Rumors about me moving elsewhere bother me. Let them exist... It seems like I want to move to 20 different teams."

"I am just one player. I will play here and continue. If I knew I wasn't good enough for this team, I would have already left, but I am very happy here. It hurts not to play, but I know I am capable and will give my all to be able to play."

This season, Fabregas has played five matches in all competitions, scoring two goals and providing as many assists.
