Cesc Fabregas could leave Como for a leading club at some point, but his immediate future remains uncertain. Gianluca Di Marzio told Greek outlet Betarades that Fabregas’s contract includes a release clause involving Barcelona, Arsenal and Chelsea, where he previously played.

The clause’s terms have not been disclosed, and neither Como nor Fabregas is reported to have confirmed the arrangement. Di Marzio said any move would depend on circumstances at one of the named clubs; he did not report that Fabregas is negotiating with any of them.

Di Marzio also said Fabregas had declined approaches from Inter, Roma and Bayer Leverkusen, and was not in a hurry to take the next step in his career. Those claims, like the contract detail, have not been independently confirmed in the material available.

If Fabregas leaves, Di Marzio said Como may consider Sassuolo coach Alberto Aquilani as a possible successor. No departure or replacement has been confirmed.
