Fabregas was heavily linked with Milan in the run up to deadline day last month, after he initially struggled for appearances under Conte.
But the Spaniard played a key role in Chelsea’s 4-2 win against Leicester City on Tuesday, his two goals sending the Blues into the English Football League Cup fourth round.
“I’m sorry to be playing a little, but I know I’m at the right level to be a part of this team,” he told Cadena COPE.
Asked about Conte as a coach he replied: “He’s a great coach with a special philosophy, we like him."
Speaking about his future at the club, Fabregas said: “I live everything with serenity and maturity. Of course I’d like to play more, but I know I can be important even just for 15 minutes.
“I’m training like never before, and mentally I feel sensations that I’ve never experienced.
“I have a great desire within, to play and work. I’m doing my best to convince Conte and ensure that I can stay here."
He added: “Even in the summer, when there were so many rumours, I never thought about leaving Chelsea.”
