Jose Mourinho has revealed the reason behind Cesc Fabregas’ decision to snub his former club Arsenal for Chelsea in a highly debated transfer last year when the Spanish midfielder was on the verge of leaving Barcelona.
Fabregas returned to London from Barcelona, opting for Stamford Bridge above the Emirates Stadium, where he was Arsene Wenger’s captain.
He will however return to play at Arsenal wearing a Blue jersey for the first time on Sunday since he left and manager of the Premier League title chasers Mourinho claims Chelsea promised him ‘titles’ which might not be guaranteed at north London and that’s why he joined for a fee close to £30m.
“I know why he chose Chelsea,” Mourinho said.
“I don’t know why he didn’t choose Arsenal. I only know what we promised him and what he promised us.
“I can’t talk about why he left Arsenal, why he didn’t go back. I don’t know if it was his decision or the manager’s decision. We promised him a team built in the style to suit his play.
“Normally good projects go in hand with titles and he was looking for that.”
