The 31-year-old, who featured in the narrow Europa League win over Vidi on Thursday, is a free agent next summer with the Blues are yet to discuss his future beyond the current campaign.
Fabregas is enjoying working under new boss Maurizio Sarri, and despite falling down the pecking order due to a knee injury and the club’s excellent start to the season, is keen to extend his time at Stamford Bridge.
About his future, Fabregas said: “I’m very open about it.
“To be honest the club has not said anything.
“At the end of the day I have eight months left and at the moment I’m gone.
“But I’d love to stay at the club. I’ve been very happy for the last four years and a half.
“We’ve had great success, won many things. I think I have a good understanding with the fans and players.
“I feel I still have a lot of football left in me but it is now up to the club.”
In line with most of the big clubs in the Premier League, Chelsea has a policy of offering one-year extensions to players aged over 30.
The former Arsenal and Barcelona midfielder is expected to drop back to the bench for Sunday’s trip to Southampton on Sunday.
The Spanish international moved to West London in 2014 and has gone on to win two Premier League titles, the FA Cup and League Cup and revealed he wished Sarri had arrived in West London a few years earlier.
Fabregas added: “I wish he came a bit earlier to be honest, it’s a little bit late now in my career.”
