football club: Barcelona keeping a close eye on Fabregas’ Como

The board at La Liga champions Barcelona are keeping a watchful eye on developments at Serie A outfit Como.

This comes with a view to a potential future move for Cesc Fàbregas.

Ex-midfielder Fàbregas has for his part drawn widespread praise for his efforts on the touchline across the season to date.

As much comes with the Spaniard having guided minnows Como into the battle for European football in Italy’s top-flight.

Not only that, but along the way, Fàbregas has employed a hugely impressive brand of free-flowing, attack-minded football.

Such excellence is understood to have piqued the attentions of a whole host of leading clubs across the continent.

And chief among them are the aforementioned Barcelona.

As per a report from Fichajes, amid an ongoing search for a long-term replacement for Hansi Flick, the Camp Nou brass have underlined the name of their former engine room star in red:

“Fàbregas’ breakthrough in Italian football has not gone unnoticed in Barcelona, where Deco and Laporta value his approachable nature, natural leadership, and deep understanding of the club’s internal dynamics.”
