Midfielder Fabregas insists his search for silverware is far more important than any loyalty to Gunners boss Arsene Wenger.
The 20-year-old Spaniard and his team-mates tackle Liverpool in the last eight of the Champions League tonight with the losers all but guaranteed to end the campaign empty-handed.

Wenger has refused to give up on the Premier League and Fabregas said: "Although I still recognise how vital Arsene Wenger has been to my career my immediate future is not linked to him.
"I adore his style of play, I enjoy my role in this team but decisions about a career and my immediate future need to be weighed up with other factors in mind - for example like how competitive we are in terms of winning trophies.
"I've got no thoughts of leaving Arsenal right now - I love their style, I love London and the coach puts his faith in me.
"But, in general, I have four dream teams - Arsenal is obviously one but also I'd count Milan, Barcelona and Real Madrid."
Asked whether he would ever join Manchester United if they came in for him Fabregas, even then, left the door slightly ajar.
"You can never say never in football because your professional life is full of unexpected changes and surprises," he told Spanish newspaper Marca. "But, I'd have to say, I would try to avoid such a situation."

Wenger remains Fabregas's biggest fan and is confident his young Gunners will be all the better for their experiences this season - even if Arsenal's European dreams are ended tonight. Only one win in seven has seen Arsenal's lead at the top of the Premier League vanish and they are now playing catch-up on both Chelsea and Manchester United, whom they face at Old Trafford on Sunday.
"We are still very young. You cannot convince me otherwise," said Wenger. "Emmanuel Adebayor is young as is Fabregas. I cannot say they are old, I am sorry. They have experience. We have played in the Champions League Final, but they are young.
"They will be better in two or three years because they will be even more experienced - and they will still be very young then."
