Key Points
  • Como president acknowledges Fabregas's importance and potential departure to top clubs
  • Fabregas's successful first season and Como's current strong league position
  • Previous links to Chelsea and Arsenal's stability compared to Chelsea's struggles

According to Metro - Main, Mirwan Suwarso described Fabregas as very important for Como but said it would be foolish not to imagine him leaving for a top club. He added that if Fabregas continues to be successful, he could have bigger dreams. Fabregas has enjoyed an impressive first season in charge, leading Como to their best Serie A finish since 1987 by placing ninth last campaign.

The team currently sits fourth in Serie A with nine games remaining, having boosted their Champions League hopes with a recent 2-1 win over Roma. Fabregas's successful reign has naturally led to interest from other clubs. He was tentatively linked with a return to Chelsea in January after Enzo Maresca's departure, but Chelsea appointed Liam Rosenior instead.

Cesc is really very important for us, but we would be stupid not to think that one day he could go to Arsenal, Barcelona or Chelsea.

Reports say Rosenior is already under some pressure with Chelsea outside the top four and facing Champions League exit, while Mikel Arteta faces no such pressure at Arsenal, who are competing in all four competitions and look set to win their first Premier League title since 2004. Meanwhile, Como's summer 2024 signing Nico Páz has become one of the club's most important players, scoring 17 goals and providing 14 assists in 68 matches. Real Madrid included a buyback clause and a 50 percent sell-on clause when they sold him, and throughout the season there have been reports that Real Madrid are expected to use the buyback clause.

According to Fotbolltransfers, Carlalberto Ludi described there being a big chance that Páz stays for another year, believing European play could benefit Como, though Real Madrid has the final say. Coach Fabregas has also been rumored to be able to leave. According to Fotbolltransfers, Ludi described having talked several times already and being in agreement on what Fabregas wants and what Como wants.

If he continues to win with us or in any case to be successful, even if I cannot speak for him, I believe he could have bigger dreams.

He said if nothing extraordinary happens on the transfer market concerning him, they will continue together, and for the moment they are not at all worried he will leave. According to Metro - Main, Suwarso described hoping that as long as Fabregas is at Como, he will help create a success plan for those who will replace him. He added that as a member of the Board of Football, Fabregas will have to help appoint the next coach.

Having said that, I hope that as long as he is here he will help us create a success plan also for those who will have to replace him.

For me, when he leaves, if he ever leaves, he should be the one to choose who will take his place. He should be involved in the choice.

Being a member of the Board of Football, he will have to help us appoint the next coach.

Det finns en stor chans att Nico Páz stannar hos oss i ytterligare ett år.

Europaspel skulle gynna oss.

Det är alltid samma historia, vi kan inte kontrollera vad andra vill. Vi är väldigt nöjda med honom och han är väldigt nöjd med oss. Europaspel skulle gynna oss. Chanserna att han stannar är fortfarande höga i dag, trots att VM är en faktor.

Carlalberto Ludi, Como sporting director

Vi har pratat flera gånger redan. Just nu är vi överens om vad han vill göra och vad Como vill.

Carlalberto Ludi, Como sporting director

Om inte något extraordinärt händer på transfermarknaden som berör honom, kommer vi att fortsätta tillsammans. Vi kan prata om vad vi erbjuder honom, inte vad andra kan tänkas erbjuda honom. För tillfället är vi inte alls oroliga för att han ska lämna oss.
