“Cesc is the key player that the whole team revolves around. I’ve recognized his phenomenal talent for years. He possesses a drive and ambition I’ve never encountered before,” Ludi shared with Sport Mediaset.

“We owe him a great deal. Our goals and cultural alignment are in sync. I am confident we will continue this journey together for a long time, as he has contributed significantly to Como as well.”

Inter was notably one of the clubs that sought to recruit Fabregas last summer, and other clubs like Real Madrid are reportedly interested for the upcoming season.

“We have never been concerned about losing him; while we can’t predict the future, we trust our relationship with Cesc and the quality of our daily efforts.”

These teams faced off on April 12 in Serie A, where Como squandered a 2-0 lead, ultimately losing 4-3. They have since lost another match 2-1 to Sassuolo, causing them to slip to a tie for fifth place with Roma.

In recent weeks, Como has been experimenting with their tactics and is expected to deploy a three-man defense tonight, with Tasos Douvikas playing as the center-forward.
