Cesc Fabregas claims he was forced out of Chelsea by Maurizio Sarri favourite Jorginho.
The World Cup winner left Stamford Bridge during the January transfer window to join Ligue 1 strugglers Monaco and link up with former Arsenal teammate Thierry Henry.
After almost five years, it seemed a tad harsh and the 31-year-old has opened up about his experience.
Speaking at a Monaco press conference, Fabregas said: “I was at Chelsea and I could have renewed my contract to stay there. A new coach came and he came with a player that, for him, was like his son.
“For me it was difficult to play every single game – this is what I want to do. I love football. When I played for Chelsea, I’m happy.
“[But] it was impossible to play every match – for whatever reason it was.â€
The Spaniard revealed he had the option to extend his contract with the Blues, but chose to leave west London for regular game time.
Jorginho followed Sarri from Napoli for £57million, but has struggled in his debut season in the Premier League after being targeted by opposition midfielders.
