Fabregas admits he spoke with Real Madrid

Arsenal star Cesc Fabregas has conceded he spoke on the phone with former Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon.

“It’s true the president of Real Madrid called me personally – we spoke on the phone,” Fabregas admitted in El Mundo. “But I never gave him my word that I was going to sign for Real Madrid. He asked about my progress and that was it.

“I have not given him nor anyone else the expectation that I will join them. The same goes for anyone who represents me. I am a person of my work and I can assure you that I have never given any club reason to believe that I would leave Arsenal”.
