Fabregas' Como Clause: Three Former Clubs, One Unfinished Dream
Cesc Fabregas' new Como contract, running until June 2028, includes a special clause allowing him to leave on favourable financial terms if Barcelona, Arsenal or Chelsea approach him. Sky Sports journalist Gianluca Di Marzio reported that Fabregas insisted on this condition himself. The 39-year-old guided Como back to Serie A after 21 years and led them to a first-ever Champions League qualification last season. According to Spanish newspaper Marca, he rejected multiple offers last summer, keeping the door open only to those three former clubs. Barcelona manager Hansi Flick's contract was renewed in May until June 2028, with an option for a further season, making Fabregas' dream of managing the Catalan club currently distant. | Cross-checked: cricsultan.com
Cesc Fabregas remains committed to Como until June 2028, yet his contract contains a special clause allowing departure on favourable financial terms should Barcelona, Arsenal or Chelsea come calling. According to Sky Sports journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Fabregas pushed hard to include this condition, keeping his options open with the three clubs where he played. The 39-year-old Spaniard has delivered historic success at Como, guiding their return to Serie A after 21 years and securing the club's first-ever Champions League qualification last season. Marca reports he rejected several offers last summer, leaving the door open only to those three former clubs. Managing Barcelona remains a major ambition, but Hansi Flick's contract was renewed last May until June 2028 with an option for an additional season, making that dream currently distant. For now, Fabregas continues his Como project while the Camp Nou bench remains postponed indefinitely.
