Cesc Fabregas, coach of the Italian team Como, plans to sign a surprise player from Barcelona

Cesc Fàbregas is committed to improving the level of Como and has set his sights on a familiar target: Ansu Fati. Since becoming the head coach of the Italian club, Fàbregas has been focused on assembling a competitive squad. With the winter transfer window approaching, he sees an opportunity to boost the team’s attacking options by bringing in young talent.

Fati, who has struggled for playing time under Hansi Flick at Barcelona, could be Como’s surprise winter acquisition. Flick is reportedly keen to part ways with Fati due to his ongoing injury issues and lack of form.

According to *Defensa Central*, Fàbregas’ interest in Fati is no surprise to those familiar with his past, as both share ties to Barcelona. Fàbregas believes the young forward has the potential to elevate Como’s attack and help them compete in Serie A.

At Como, Fàbregas has already brought in experienced players such as Pepe Reina, Sergi Roberto, and Nico Paz to strengthen the squad. However, the team’s offensive performance remains below the level Fàbregas desires, and he views Fati as the perfect solution to this issue.

Fati’s situation at Barcelona has become increasingly precarious. Since Flick took charge, he has struggled to secure a consistent spot in the starting XI, with other attackers taking priority. This has led to frustration on both sides, with Barcelona’s sporting director, Deco, considering a loan move as a way to give Fati more playing time and help him regain confidence in a new environment.

Sources suggest Fàbregas has already begun discussions with Deco to explore the possibility of a loan deal. While nothing has been finalized, the plan would be to loan Fati without a buy option, allowing him to return to Barcelona after gaining experience in Serie A.

Fati would face a different style of play in Italy, but he would have the support of a coach who knows him well and appreciates his abilities. For Barcelona, the loan represents an opportunity for Fati to rediscover the potential he showed earlier in his career. Despite a recent injury that could complicate the transfer, Fàbregas remains determined to bring Fati to Como in January.
