In one of the most explosive developments of the summer transfer window, Como 1907 president Mirwan Suwarso has finally broken his silence regarding the ongoing tug-of-war between Inter Milan and Como over one man — Cesc Fàbregas. The Spanish legend, who has been rapidly rising as one of Europe’s most promising young coaches, is now on the verge of joining Inter Milan, according to multiple sources — and with Como’s top official now speaking publicly about the situation, the deal appears dangerously close to being completed.
But while Inter fans are already celebrating online, believing that the Nerazzurri are about to land the tactical mind they hope can lead them to Champions League glory, others are warning that this transfer “may end in regret” — and not just for Como.
So what exactly did the Como president say, why is Inter prepared to meet the demand, and what might the future hold if this deal does go through?
THE SITUATION: INTER’S OBSESSION WITH FÀBREGAS
Inter Milan’s interest in Cesc Fàbregas is no longer a secret.
After a disappointing end to their European campaign and the departure of Simone Inzaghi — who is now confirmed to be heading to Al-Hilal — the Nerazzurri have been scrambling for a new face to lead the next era. They want someone young, tactically astute, forward-thinking, and capable of maintaining the club’s domestic dominance while finally bringing home European silverware.
Cesc Fàbregas checks all those boxes.
Since taking over at Como, the former Arsenal, Barcelona, and Chelsea star has overseen a remarkable transformation. He guided Como to promotion to Serie A in just his first full season, developed a cohesive tactical identity, and won admiration for his calm, intelligent approach. His blend of possession-based football and strategic pragmatism has caught the eye of executives at the highest level.
Inter, seeing a rare opportunity, are now willing to do whatever it takes to bring Fàbregas to the San Siro.
THE BOMBSHELL FROM COMO’S PRESIDENT
After weeks of silence and strong denials, Como president Mirwan Suwarso has finally addressed the situation head-on — and what he revealed has left the football world stunned:
“Yes, there is a clause in Cesc’s contract. We hoped it would never come to this, but it is there. Inter Milan know what the clause is. If they want to proceed, the decision is no longer ours. We’ve made our position clear, but the rest is now up to them.”
These words were not only a confirmation of Fàbregas’ release clause, but also a reluctant acknowledgment that Como are powerless to stop the move if Inter meet the stipulated financial terms.
But perhaps the most intriguing part of Suwarso’s message came toward the end, when he added:
“Some deals, no matter how big they are, may end in regret. I hope for everyone’s sake, this one doesn’t become that kind of story.”
This cryptic warning has sent fans and journalists into a frenzy. Is he suggesting that Fàbregas isn’t ready for a club of Inter’s stature? That Como will suffer irreparably from his departure? Or that Inter, in their eagerness, might be taking a step too far too soon?
INTER MILAN: READY TO MEET THE DEMAND
Despite the uncertainty, Inter Milan’s stance appears clear: they are ready to trigger the clause and finalize a deal that would see Cesc Fàbregas take over as head coach before the start of preseason.
Multiple sources close to the club report that Inter are preparing an official offer — one that aligns perfectly with the terms outlined in Fàbregas’ contract with Como. The fee is rumored to be in the region of €6 million, which, in the current coaching market, is seen as an absolute bargain for a manager of Fàbregas’ profile and potential.
There is also a growing belief within Inter’s boardroom that if they don’t move now, they could lose him to another top club. Juventus, Sevilla, and even some English clubs are believed to be monitoring the situation. For Inter, it’s now or never.
FAN REACTION: JOY, DOUBTS, AND FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN
Inter fans are, predictably, electrified by the news. Social media has been flooded with messages of anticipation, celebration, and hope. Hashtags like #WelcomeCesc, #FàbregasInter, and #NewEraAtSanSiro have trended in Italy for two consecutive days.
But not everyone is convinced.
While many praise Fàbregas’ vision and charisma, others have raised valid concerns:
- He has never managed in Serie A.
- He has never led a squad with the kind of expectation and pressure that comes with managing Inter Milan.
- His tactical adaptability at the highest level remains untested.
One popular fan account on X posted:
“It feels exciting, but also risky. I love Fàbregas, but this club has no margin for error anymore. We need results, not experiments.”
Others are drawing comparisons to Andrea Pirlo’s ill-fated managerial stint at Juventus — another former player thrown into the fire too early.
WHAT COMO LOSES IF FÀBREGAS LEAVES
For Como, the loss is more than just a coach — it’s the loss of a project, a philosophy, a symbol of rebirth.
Cesc Fàbregas was never just a figure on the sideline at Como. He was their ambassador, strategist, and public face. He helped revive the club’s image, attract international attention, and restore hope to a long-suffering fanbase.
Losing him now — on the eve of their return to Serie A — could be devastating. The players believed in him. The fans idolized him. And the club was being built around his vision.
Mirwan Suwarso’s warning may not have been directed at Inter alone — it may have been a lament for Como’s loss.
WHAT INTER GAINS — OR RISKS — BY BRINGING HIM IN
Should Inter seal the deal and appoint Fàbregas, they could gain one of the most innovative young coaches in European football. His ability to connect with players, his understanding of the modern game, and his aura as a former top-level player could all pay off in the right environment.
But it’s a gamble.
Inter is not a development club. It’s a win-now club. The squad is filled with senior professionals, hardened internationals, and Champions League expectations. One wrong tactical call, one poor start to the season — and the pressure could become unbearable.
That’s what makes this deal fascinating — and dangerous.
SO, IS IT A DONE DEAL?
Not officially. Not yet.
But all signs point to an imminent agreement. Inter Milan are reportedly drafting personal terms with Fàbregas’ camp. Como have essentially greenlit the move, by acknowledging the clause. The only piece left is Fàbregas’ final decision — and right now, the belief is that he’s ready for the challenge.
His silence during this media storm may be the clearest sign of all.
CONCLUSION: A DEFINING MOMENT FOR THREE CLUBS — AND ONE MAN
This is more than just a managerial transfer. It’s a defining fork in the road for Como, Inter Milan, and Cesc Fàbregas himself.
- For Como, it could be the end of a fairytale before the real story begins.
- For Inter, it could be the beginning of a bold, modern era — or a misstep they come to regret.
- For Fàbregas, it’s the chance of a lifetime — a leap into football’s highest pressure cooker.
President Mirwan Suwarso’s warning looms large over it all:
“Some deals may end in regret.”
Whether this one will, only time will tell. But one thing is clear: the next 72 hours could change everything.
And if the deal goes through, Serie A may never be the same again.
