Cesc Fabregas ‘agrees shock Como transfer’ with ex-Arsenal and Chelsea star set to play in Serie B
CESC FABREGAS has reportedly agreed a two-year contract with Serie B side Como.
The 35-year-old former Chelsea and Arsenal midfielder is a free agent after leaving Monaco.
Now he has agreed a move to the second-tier side in Italy in a bid to revive his career, says transfer guru Fabrizio Romano.
He reports that: “Como have reached full verbal agreement with Cesc Fabregas.
“Italian second division side are now set to complete the deal on two year contract.”
Romano also adds that Fabregas is now set to fly to Como next month.

The Spanish World Cup and two-time European Championship winner will then sign until June 2024 with Como.
Fabregas left Monaco at the end of last season after enduring an injury-plagued final season in the Principality.
He made just five first-time appearances last term, with the most recent coming in August 2021.
Now he hopes to have a final flourish to his glittering career at Coma, who have ex-Chelsea star Dennis Wise as their head of sports operations.

Last season they came mid-table in 13th.
Fabregas is desperate to play again after suffering the “worst year” of his life amid a bad hamstring injury.
He told So Foot in May: “It’s certain that it’s finished between me and Monaco.
“My contract expires in June and I am looking to depart. My head needs a departure elsewhere.”
He then continued: “It’s been not only the worst year of my career but the worst year of my life because when I’m not happy in football, I can’t be happy in life.
“I have suffered a lot this year; it’s been difficult mentally.”
Fabregas partied in Ibiza over the summer alongside wife Daniella Semaan and pals Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.
The group, alongside Messi and Suarez’s wives Antonela Roccuzzo and Sofia Balbi, stayed on a £60,000-a-week yacht, then a £260k-a-week mansion.
