# Fabregas targeted by Atletico Madrid

[The Daily Mirror claim](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/cesc-fabregas-targeted-atletico-madrid-13408780) Atletico Madrid are the latest club to be interested in Cesc Fabregas.

The midfielder is out of contract in the summer, and the club have yet to offer him a new deal.

Despite repeated claims from Fabregas that he would like to remain a Chelsea player, several other European clubs have started to jostle for position as they attempt to land the 31-year-old.

Milan have registered interest in the Spaniard, and now Atleti are the latest club to enter the race for the 2010 World Cup winner.

A Chelsea player since 2014, Fabregas is in no rush to leave the West London outfit:

> I wish he came a bit earlier to be honest, it’s a little bit late now in my career. Definitely I’m very happy with him,

> I’d love to stay at the club. I’ve been very happy for the last four years and a half, we’ve had great success, won many things.

> I feel I still have a lot of football left in me but it is now up to the club.

An injury-plagued start to the season has limited Fabregas to four appearances so far this season under new boss Maurizio Sarri, but the talented play-maker may become indispensable as Chelsea’s hectic Europa League schedule kicks in.
