Como president Mirwan Suwarso says it would be 'stupid' not to imagine Cesc Fabregas leaving the club and managing either Arsenal or Chelsea. Fabregas has enjoyed an impressive spell in charge of Como, leading the Italian side to their best Serie A finish in his first season at the club, with Como finishing ninth last season – their highest finish since 1987. The club are currently sitting fourth in Serie A with nine games remaining, and qualifying for the Champions League would be an incredible achievement for Fabregas given Como were not even in Serie A when he first joined as assistant manager.
Nico Páz, 21, left Spanish giant Real Madrid for Italian Como in the summer of 2024, and since then, he has been one of the club's most important players, with 17 goals and 14 assists in 68 competitive matches. When Real Madrid sold him, a buyback clause and a 50 percent resale clause were included, and throughout the season, there have been reports that Real Madrid are expected to exercise the buyback clause. com writes that Real Madrid can buy back Páz for 9 million euros in the summer of 2026, with the amount increasing to 11 million euros for the summer of 2027.
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.
Como's sporting director Carlalberto Ludi says there is a big chance that Nico Páz stays with them for another year, and he believes that a good season involving European play could prove positive regarding Páz, even though Real Madrid has the final say. Coach Cesc Fabregas has also been rumored to be able to leave, but Como's sporting director Carlalberto Ludi says they have talked several times already and are currently in agreement on what Fabregas wants to do and what Como wants. If nothing extraordinary happens on the transfer market that concerns him, they will continue together.
For the time being, they are not at all worried that Fabregas will leave them.
There is a big chance that Nico Páz stays with us for another year.
It is always the same story, we cannot control what others want. We are very happy with him and he is very happy with us. European play would benefit us. The chances that he stays are still high today, even though the World Cup is a factor.
We have talked several times already. Right now we are in agreement on what he wants to do and what Como wants.
If nothing extraordinary happens on the transfer market that concerns him, we will continue together. We can talk about what we offer him, not what others might offer him. For the time being, we are not at all worried that he will leave us.
