Cesc Fabregas upset at being named the middleman in Messi/Chelsea deal.
As much as he relishes the chance to play alongside his former Barca colleague Lionel Messi at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea midfielder, Cesc Fabregas would have nothing to do with the latter’s move to England.
The Argentine football legend followed Chelsea’s official account on Instagram few days back, sparking off rumours that he may be set to join The Blues.
Fabregas has however rubbished claims that he is a mediator in the Chelsea/Messi bid. The Spain international cleared the air on Spanish radio programme Al Primer Toque on Onda Cero:
“I’m upset that they say that I could be mediating for Messi to come to Chelsea. How can I be talking about contracts… I’m only a footballer.
“He (Messi) will do what makes him happiest. Personally, as his friend, colleague and footballer, if you gave me the chance to play with him again, I would welcome it.
“I don’t know Luis Enrique. I do know Leo and I doubt very much that what is being said is happening, because he’s a very relaxed guy and I’ve never seen any of that in the three years we spent together.
“Messi is happy at Barca and they are happy with him.”
