Como feel it is ‘unlikely’ Fabregas will leave for top club | OneFootball

Como director Carlalberto Ludi insists it is ‘unlikely’ Cesc Fabregas will leave the club with such a long contract, even after links with Juventus, Milan, Roma and more.

The match with Roma kicks off at the Stadio Olimpico at 17.00 GMT.

They were promoted from Serie B last season and struggled earlier this term, but have started to climb the standings thanks also to numerous January signings.

Como are coming off back-to-back victories against Fiorentina and Napoli, so are also hoping to cause an upset against Roma at the Stadio Olimpico, even if Fabregas is sitting out a touchline ban.

There were reports this week that several big sides are looking to poach Fabregas for next season, including Juventus, Roma and Milan.

“We read a lot and in our view he is someone destined for greatness, a coach with great communication skills,” Ludi told Sky Sport Italia.

“He signed a very long contract with Como, I see him fully involved in the dynamics of the club. Therefore, seeing him away from all of this seems unlikely, I would see that as paradoxical.”

Fabregas will turn 38 in May and came to Como for the final year of his playing career in 2022-23.

He then immediately went into management for the youth team, promoted to the senior squad in November 2013, then officially as understudy to Osian Roberts from December 2023 to July 2024, until he got his coaching badges.
