With a move to Monaco on the cards, the World Cup winner admits “the occasion got the better of me” during a teary farewell at Stamford Bridge <\/div>\n

Cesc Fabregas has stopped short of confirming his move away from Chelsea but admitted\u00a0“everyone knows the situation”, with Goal having revealed that he is closing in on a transfer to Monaco.<\/p>\n

The World Cup-winning midfielder left the Stamford Bridge pitch\u00a0in tears after the Blues’ 2-0 FA Cup third round victory over Nottingham Forest, in which he captained the side but also missed a first-half penalty.<\/p>\n

He was given a standing ovation when replaced by N’Golo Kante in the 85th minute and the Spaniard\u00a0indicated\u00a0in a post-match interview\u00a0that reports of his imminent departure were true.<\/p>\n

“The occasion got the better of me,” Fabregas told BBC Sport<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“I didn’t expect all of this to happen today. I can’t say\u00a0anything out of respect for Chelsea but everyone knows the situation.”<\/p>\n

Fabregas joined Chelsea in June 2014 in a \u20ac33 million (\u00a330m\/$38m) transfer from Barcelona and has won two Premier League titles with the club.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If his rumoured switch to Ligue 1 comes to fruition, Fabregas will wave farewell\u00a0to English football for what could be the last time after a combined 12-and-a-half years, first at Arsenal and then Chelsea, either side of his three-year spell at Barcelona.<\/p>\n

“Time flies,” said the\u00a031-year-old. “It feels like last week I started playing professionally, and now it has been\u00a0over 15 years.<\/p>\n

“For the young players, a little advice:\u00a0enjoy every single second.<\/p>\n

“You have to be ready every three days, live with criticism, with everyone saying how good you are, with up and downs, but time really does fly.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Ross Barkley, who played alongside Fabregas in midfield as Alvaro Morata’s second-half goals ensured Chelsea’s passage to the fourth round, paid tribute to his team-mate.<\/p>\n

“As a young lad watching Match of the Day and seeing Cesc for Arsenal and\u00a0Barcelona you can see what an intelligent player he is,” Barkley told BBC Sport<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I’ve seen how quick he thinks on the spot. It has been a pleasure playing with him, whatever move he chooses to make.<\/p>\n

“He’s played for Spain in the era when they won everything and he held his own with the likes of Xavi and [Andres] Iniesta.<\/p>\n

“He’s going to go down as one of best midfielders ever.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
