10 superstars who rejected the Chinese Super League's riches

5) Cesc Fabregas

Cesc Fabregas prefers a move to MLS instead of China

The Spaniard seems like he has been around since forever but Cesc Fabregas only turned 30 years old at the end of the 2016/17 season. Having played a crucial role yet again in Chelsea's title triumph, Fabregas was linked with a move to China when he wasn't getting enough game time under Antonio Conte.

According to Spanish news outlet Marca, Fabregas had received an offer of €31m in wages to move to China. However, they did not name the club that was involved.

Fabregas still has a number of years left in him and while a move to China did sound enticing, he was not ready to leave Europe just yet. In fact, he has other plans when his European career comes to an end in the future.

"Once I don't think I could play in Europe, my plan at the moment would be to go to the States, but you never really know." - Fabregas

Will he seal his spot in Conte's XI this season, though?
