( CNN ) -- Spain midfielder Cesc Fabregas has followed his country 's surprise 2-0 Confederations Cup defeat to the United States by hinting he could be ready to leave English Premier League club Arsenal because of their limited success . Is Cesc Fabregas paving the way for a move away from London-based club Arsenal ? The 22-year-old star told British newspaper The Sun that the loss to the USA was not the prime factor contributing to his depressed mood , instead he focused on his club 's inability to win silverware . `` The absence of titles at Arsenal is what angers me the most . Cristiano Ronaldo said he 's leaving Manchester United because he had nothing else to win . For me right now it is the exact opposite , seeing the impotence , '' the playmaker and club captain said . Check out the world 's 20 most wanted players . Fabregas , who joined the north London club in 2003 , has not won a major club trophy since Arsenal beat Manchester United in 2005 to lift the FA Cup . Arsene Wenger 's team have also not been crowned champions of the Premier League since 2004 , a factor that has been increasingly of concern for the diminutive footballer . `` This year we wanted [ the title ] , we were giving everything - but we could n't reach the level that everyone expected of Arsenal . When you win , you 're well . But when you do n't , everyone is in a bad mood . For four years now , we 've needed a title to regain our belief in ourselves , '' he added . Fabregas signed an eight-year contract with the Gunners in 2006 , a deal that should see him stay at the club until 2014 , however , it seems he is already considering other destinations to ply his trade . `` My seventh season is about to start . It 's a lot when you 're just 22 . When you stop to think , you see that time flies . In football , you have to learn fast and take the best decisions for yourself and try to be happy . `` If one day I 'm not happy , I am the first who will tell the manager . I admire Arsene Wenger but each of us has his own life and looks after his own interests . '' The midfielder - who helped his national side win the European title in 2008 as well as guiding Arsenal to the semifinals of the Champions League in 2009 - hinted that the ambition shown by Real Madrid has attracted his attention despite descending from a family of Barcelona supporters . `` Of course my family would understand if I signed for Real Madrid because they love me , they want me to be happy and what is best for me . They 'd support me - whichever club I joined . My family will always be there for me - whatever decision I make . They 're the ones who are always by my side . '' Since the re-election of president Florentino Perez , Real Madrid have embarked on a period of extravagant spending , buying Brazil 's Kaka for $ 92 millions dollars from AC Milan and agreeing a $ 130 million transfer fee with Manchester United for World Player of the Year Ronaldo . Rumors have circulated that Fabregas could be a target for Los Merengues and the man himself speculated it would be a difficult choice to make if both Barcelona and Real were to bid for him . `` At the moment it 's not happened so I do n't have to choose . For any player it gives great pride that those two clubs come to sign him . It would be a difficult choice , '' he added . Arsenal kick off the forthcoming season in England with an away visit to Everton on August 15 .
