Cesc Fabregas hints at move away from Arsenal

Cesc Fabregas has thrown his Arsenal future into new doubt by refusing to rule out a move away from the Premier League next season.

The Spain international has long been sought after by Real Madrid, while Barcelona reportedly revived their interest in their former youth-team prodigy this summer.

And speaking to Spanish radio while on international duty with Spain ahead of the European champions' encounter with Estonia in Merida, Fabregas hinted that he may move away at the end of the season.

"I don't know if I'll leave the Premier League next year," he told Radio Marca. "I haven't spoken to anyone. Whatever happens, happens, but at the moment there is nothing."

The Gunners skipper did, however, move to quell recent suggestions linking him with a return to Barca.

"Two or three years ago there was some interest [from Real], but there has never been anything serious with another team since I joined Arsenal," he said.
