Cesc Fàbregas Reportedly Holds Exit Clause Allowing Future Moves to Elite Clubs

Cesc Fàbregas reportedly has an exit clause in his Como contract that could allow him to join a select group of major clubs, including Arsenal, Barcelona or Chelsea. The former Arsenal captain has built his coaching reputation by leading Como to Champions League qualification, but remains content at the club and has turned down approaches from other European sides. Transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio says Fàbregas is not rushing to move and would weigh the circumstances at potential destinations before deciding. An Arsenal move appears hypothetical for now: reports say Mikel Arteta is set to receive a long-term contract after guiding the club to the Premier League title.
Como president Mirwan Suwarso said he would not prevent Fàbregas from joining Chelsea if that were what he wanted: “At the end of the day we don’t own him and he’s free to go to Chelsea if he wishes.”
Chelsea reportedly considered Fàbregas for its managerial role before appointing Xabi Alonso.
In his first season as Como manager, Fàbregas led the club to its highest league finish since 1987; the following season Como finished fourth in Serie A and qualified for the Champions League for the first time.
Fàbregas spent eight years at Arsenal as a player and captained the club before joining Barcelona in 2011.
