The legendary Spaniard is close to securing a long-term deal with the Como team

The legendary former Spanish footballer Cesc Fàbregas is ready to extend his contract with the Italian team Como.

According to Fabrizio Romano, everyone at the club is pleased with his work and has offered him a new long-term deal. It was also reported that he could have joined Chelsea's coaching staff, but Fàbregas is fully focused on his work with Como ahead of the Serie A season.

To recap, on August 1, 2022, Fàbregas joined the Italian Serie B club Como as a free agent, signing a two-year contract. A year later, on July 1, 2023, he announced his retirement as a player and became a coach.

Additionally, the search for Chelsea's new head coach has concluded. According to Fabrizio Romano, the London club has agreed on the terms of a three-year contract with Leicester's head coach Enzo Maresca.

The Italian coach has already informed Leicester's management of his desire to join Chelsea. It is known that the release clause in his contract is 8 million pounds, and Chelsea is prepared to pay this amount.
