Antonio Conte wants Cesc Fabregas to stay with Chelsea

Antonio Conte has promised Cesc Fabregas more game time for Chelsea next season in a bid to keep the player at Stamford Bridge, the Evening Standard reports.

The Chelsea head coach has reportedly spoken personally with Fabregas regarding his role within the squad next season.
Fabregas’ future at Chelsea appears to be uncertain, with the Spaniard reportedly being left frustrated at the lack of game time he received last season and with the Blues signing midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko for £40 million from Monaco more doubts were raised.

Fabregas started just 18 games for Chelsea last season and made 19 substitute appearances. However, the Spaniard still managed to score seven goals and acquire 13 assists in all competitions.

AC Milan have recently shown an interest in taking Fabregas to the San Siro but it is believed that Fabregas is settled in London and is not interested in a move away from the English capital. A move to Italy now looks increasingly unlikely following the huge summer of spending from the Rossoneri.
