Cesc Fabregas does not rule out signing Lionel Messi in Serie A
The Como 1907 coach spoke about the presence of Antonela Roccuzzo at the stadium and left the door open to the arrival of his former teammate
Como 1907, the club recently promoted to Serie A, continues to make headlines in the transfer market. Under the technical direction of Cesc Fabregas, the Italian team has invested more than 100 million euros this summer with the aim of consolidating its position in the first division.
They have already signed players such as Jesús Rodríguez (Betis), Nicolas K¼hn (Celtic), Martin Baurina (Dinamo Zagreb), Jayden Addai (AZ Alkmaar), alex Valle (Barcelona) and secured the transfer of Maximo Perrone (Manchester City).
But not everything is closed. Fabregas himself confirmed this Tuesday, ahead of the friendly between Como and Al Ahli, that they are still looking to sign a striker - Alvaro Morata's name is being strongly suggested - and two central defenders.
Messi at Como? The door is ajar
However, what caught the most attention was the presence of Antonela Roccuzzo, Lionel Messi's wife, in the stands of the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia during a recent friendly against Lille.
When asked about this, Fabregas did not avoid the subject and uttered a phrase that sparked speculation: "Messi at Como?" Never say never." Cesc clarified that Antonela was on vacation with her family: "I was at home, traveling to see some friends. We are friends, our wives and our children too." Although he added with a smile: "But now (Leo) is in the United States." Indeed, Messi remains linked to Inter Miami, where his contract expires in December. Although from Florida, the club's owner, Jorge Mas, has been optimistic about a renewal. In statements to ESPN, he assured: "We want Messi to finish his career here. We've done everything possible to make him feel at home." Meanwhile, in Como, at least one Messi has already stepped onto the pitch. After the match against Lille, Ciro and Mateo (Leo's sons) shared an impromptu "cascarita" with Leonardo, Cesc's son, under the watchful eye of Antonela and Daniella Semaan.
