Cesc to say farewell to Chelsea Transfer Market - Premier League Negotiating his departure from London

Free to negotiate with whomever he wants from Tuesday, January 1st, 2019, Cesc Fabregas is already making moves to leave Chelsea for a new project in Europe.

Fabregas' new team will represent a totally different challenge for the player, who until now has led important projects and, almost always, as a starter and essential player.

This has been the case largely throughout his career: Arsenal, Barcelona and Chelsea.

His new destination will be known shortly, and sources close to the negotiation have confirmed to MARCA that it will be a 'European project.'

Cesc's leaving was inevitable.

At only 31 years old - he's not 32 until May - he's been relegated to a secondary role in Maurizio Sarri's new Chelsea.

The Italian coach has a very structured and fixed midfield, with Jorginho, Kante and Kovacic.

Cesc's options, therefore, have been reduced and they will continue to be so if he stays in London.

If he leaves in January, as everything seems to indicate he will, Chelsea would also get some money for him, since his contract doesn't expire until June.

Some have suggested Monaco as a possible destination but that's difficult since they're in the relegation places and completing a horrible season.

However, Cesc would be again be midfield general under the command of Thierry Henry, Arsenal captain in the first years of the player in the Premier League and a good friend of the Catalan.
