Francesc “Cesc” Fàbregas isn’t planning to go anywhere…
The 26-year-old Spanish footballer has confirmed that his plan has always been to remain with Futbol Club Barcelona, ending speculation about a possible move.
“I’ve never thought about leaving, I haven’t doubted for a single moment,” said the midfielder during a press conference in Malaysia, the latest stop on Barça’s pre-season tour.

“When such an important team makes two offers, it flatters you, but at no time did I speak with anyone from United,” said Fàbregas.
