Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas is reportedly considering his options in case the club decide not to offer him a new contract.
The Spaniard's current terms at Stamford Bridge are poised to run out at the end of the campaign, meaning he is free to discuss a pre-contract in January with overseas clubs, with a view to a free transfer in the summer.
According to Nizaar Kinsella of Goal, Fabregas is already making "contingency plans" in case he does move on:
"He is now operating as the back-up option for Jorginho, a specialist in quick, one-touch passing, with the Italy international having joined the Blues from Napoli at the same time as the manager.
