The £27million signing has joined up with his new team-mates for pre-season training in Austria after Spain's dismal World Cup.
And the former Arsenal captain was persuaded to join the Blues from Barcelona after the intervention from Mourinho.
'When I knew Chelsea wanted to buy me, I studied the situation well and talked things over with my family,' Fabregas told the Mirror.
'But then I spoke to the boss, on the day Jose came to see me.
'I remember it was a Sunday afternoon, and he flew out, missing his son's final game of the season.
'For him to do that was to make a great effort, to tell me how much he wanted me to sign for Chelsea. That gave me a real lift.'
Chelsea have already picked up two wins in pre-season against Wycombe and Wimbledon, and take on RZ Pellets in their first match of the tour on Wednesday night.
