What will Cesc Fabregas' future be like?
It’s a bit of the main question that, starting with the fans and reaching all the way to the Hartono family, is being asked around the Como environment. A question that raises many doubts, given that a good number of benches in Serie A seem destined to change faces ahead of the upcoming season. Nothing is certain in the world of the transfer market, and not even the managers who appeared to have solid footing at the helm of their clubs—due to their traits, intent, and expectations—are sure to remain in charge of those specific teams next season. So, let’s return to the question above and try to analyze the current situation.
What about Como's position?
Como’s season can only be defined as excellent, with a final surge that allowed the Lombard side to finish on the left-hand side of the table. An extraordinary result for a newly promoted team. Credit also goes to the ideology and footballing philosophy of Fabregas, who found in his players the perfect match for his methods. And so, the ownership on the lakeshore had decided to quickly reach an agreement to ensure that the former Arsenal player would stay on the Como bench. A handshake deal also intended to fend off the sirens coming from Bayer Leverkusen, who were ready to entrust Fabregas with the technical project for the post-Xabi Alonso era.
The various rejections...
The will of the Como ownership was reaffirmed through a series of clear rejections in response to the interest surfacing around the Spanish coach. Milan had already targeted him in recent months, Roma had made direct contact to try to get the Lombards’ green light to negotiate the Spaniard’s arrival post-Ranieri, and, as mentioned, Bayer Leverkusen were convinced they had found the right profile to start from again. A wall was erected by the club’s blue-clad management, leaving no room for maneuver for any club.
By the way, for Milan fans who are looking for a new way of excitement while their season has ended and we are entering the summer transfer market window, there are several options, such as the sports betting market. Many games across different categories are available to bet on, often with attractive bonuses to win. Such betting operators now organize their apps around live streaming of Serie A matches, with integrated odds panels that update in real time. No longer do fans have to toggle between a video feed and another website; all that they need is on a single screen. Swipe to view the next betting market; double tap for a replay of a goal that was missed.
Then there is also Inter...
However, given the various changes expected on Serie A benches (Palladino is said to have resigned from Fiorentina, Baroni is on the edge at Lazio, Vanoli will not continue at Torino, nor will Gasperini at Atalanta; Milan is searching for the right name for next season, while Napoli is deciding on Conte’s future with Juventus watching), the context in which moves are made could shift at any moment. Atalanta seems to be considering Raffaele Palladino, but Fabregas’s name certainly remains attractive. Willpower and ambition will be the deciding factors, especially if Inter were to come knocking. We know that, regardless of the result in the Champions League final, the fate of Simone Inzaghi—who has an offer on the table from Al Hilal—on the bench of the club based on Viale della Liberazione will be a topic of discussion. From the final whistle onward, the future of both parties will be decided together. But in the event of a parting of ways, the profile of Fabregas would fit perfectly. The Spaniard, with Roma having firmly shifted toward Gasperini, could be a fascinating idea. He knows how to work with young players and how to bring out their best—qualities that align well with a U.S.-led management like Oaktree’s. It’s only natural that reflections and moments of waiting exist: the coaching carousel has just begun, and Fabregas can easily be part of it in full.
