And he is hoping to re-launch his career at a new club with Serie A giants AC Milan among the top clubs gunning for Fabregas.
The 31-year-old whose contract runs out at the end of this season has made just four Premier League appearances with the Blues and will be open to joining a new club next month.
Daily Mail however reports that Sarri is not willing to let Fabregas go until a direct replacement has been signed.

The former Arsenal star is considered to be the only covering player for Jorginho in the squad — although Suarez would also fit the bill.
Suarez on the other hand is also unsettled at the Nou Camp having made just one appearance in La Liga this campaign.

Asked about his future recently, Suarez said: "I work to play and I'm not having minutes, if I do not play… we'll see."
The 24-year-old will cost Chelsea around £15 million according to the Mirror, while Fabregas is expected to cost AC Milan £11m.
Legit.ng earlier reported that Chelsea have been given the green light to sign Barcelona midfielder Denis Suarez after the Spanish football star admitted that his future at Barcelona is uncertain.
Suarez has not played any game this season for Barcelona in the Spanish La Liga, and he wants a move to a club where he will be able to get regular playing time.
His progress at Barcelona this term has also been affected with injury problems, but he wants active playing games.
