Cesc Fabregas has completed a move to Serie B side Como, with the World Cup winning midfielder setting out an ambition to help the upwardly mobile club into Italy’s top-flight.
The former Arsenal and Chelsea star has signed a two-year deal that will take him past his 36th birthday having been a free agent since leaving Monaco in June. And while there may be an external perception that his career is winding down, the Spain legend said that he is “looking to build a long-term future” at the club on and off the field.
In 2017 a bankrupt Como were taken over by British-based company SENT Entertainment, who are financially supported by Indonesia tobacco industry giant Djarum, following an auction. They were in Serie D at the time and ex-Chelsea midfielder Dennis Wise was brought in as chief executive two years later.
