Cesc Fàbregas Aims to Reunite with Nemanja Matić at Como

Como 1907’s head coach Cesc Fàbregas is reportedly keen on bringing his former Chelsea teammate Nemanja Matić to the Italian club. The 36-year-old Serbian midfielder currently plays for Olympique Lyonnais, but Como’s interest could lead to a winter transfer.

Fàbregas, who took charge of the newly promoted Serie A side, is looking to bolster his squad to avoid relegation. Como currently sits precariously close to the drop zone, with only a single point separating them from the bottom three. The team’s record of four wins, six draws, and eight losses highlights the need for reinforcement.

The addition of an experienced player like Matić could prove crucial in Como’s fight for survival in the second half of the season. Fàbregas is also reportedly interested in acquiring Manchester City’s Máximo Perrone, a 21-year-old talent who could complement Matić’s experience.

Lyon’s current financial difficulties may facilitate Matić’s potential move to Como. The French club is facing sanctions from the DNCG (French football’s financial watchdog), including a transfer ban and provisional relegation. This situation has led to speculation that Lyon might be open to selling players for the right price.

As Como 1907 aims to secure its place in Serie A, the potential reunion of Fàbregas and Matić could provide the team with the necessary boost to achieve their goals for the season.
