Fabregas opens the door: ¿Messi in Como? Rumors and statements

Cesc Fàbregas opens the door to Messi at Como

Como coach Cesc Fàbregas has stated that Lionel Messi is happy in the United States, but doesn’t rule out the possibility of his former Barcelona teammate playing for the Italian club in the future. The presence of Antonela Roccuzzo, Messi’s wife, along with their three children at a pre-season match between Como and Lille, sparked speculation about a possible interest from the Inter Miami captain in moving to the northern Italian city.

Never say never.

Fàbregas, speaking before the Como Cup opening match against Al Ahli, added: The MLS All-Star coach hopes Messi will play. “She [Antonela] was here at my vacation home for a week with us because Leo [Messi] was going to be away for a week playing in Cincinnati and New York.” “They [Messi’s family] took the opportunity to take a trip and see friends. We are very good friends, our wives are very good friends, our children are of similar ages.”

“After the match [against Lille], I told ‘Charly’ Ludi [Como’s sporting director] that we can never say that Messi didn’t play at Como because his children were playing here and it’s always beautiful because of the history we have.” “But no, he [Messi] is very happy in America, so let’s keep calm.” Messi, 38 years old, is in talks to extend his contract with Inter Miami, whose agreement expires in December 2025. Fàbregas, who led Como to a tenth place in Serie A, has a contract with the Lombard club until June 2028.
