It is official! Cesc Fabregas is now a player from Monaco. The Spanish midfielder arrives without any costs to the team of the Principality, which is currently fighting against relegation in the French Ligue 1 and hopes that the impact of the new hire will help them leave the bottom of the table.

The 31-year-old has signed for three and a half season, with a possible bonus that can be paid to Chelsea depending on the athlete’s performance (especially if he helps Monaco to keep on the first division).

It will also be his professional meeting with Thierry Henry (now in his first work as a manager), with whom he began a long friendship in the days when both defended Arsenal. Henry, by the way, had a gigantic importance in bringing his friend to the training team.

“It’s a great pleasure to join AS Monaco, a new project for me,” the player said in an official statement. “The group has quality in its young players and has a young coach. I’m here to help the team.” he completed. And I’m sure the fans really hope he can help.

Fabregas also said that he is looking forward to his debut, which can be in the important match against Olympique Marseille on Sunday (13th) and can be their first step to start saying goodbye to the relegation zone.

For Chelsea, the Spanish midfielder played 198 matches, scored 22 goals and gave 57 assists. Dressed in blue, he has twice won the Premier League, plus one FA Cup and an English League Cup. If he arrives at Monaco giving this luck to the French club, I’m sure Chelsea will be receiving the bonus in no time.
