Inter Milan has opened conversations with CESC Fabregas while pushing forward in their search to replace Simone Inzaghi.
Only three days after their humiliating 5-0 defeat by Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final, Inter confirmed that Inzaghi would leave the club.
Intaghi is expected to accept a lucrative offer to take the lead over the Saudi Pro League side Al -Hilal -who have been having the Italian manager for many months.
It seems that they have finally received their husbands and as a result, Inter are forced to focus their attention somewhere else while looking for a successor.
Reports in Italy claim that Fabregas – which has been a Como FC manager since November 2023 – is top list and that discussions have already started.
According to Sky Italy, the former midfielder of Arsenal has already rejected an approach to German Giants Bayer Leverkusen after the departure of Xabi Alonso.
Fabregas was also goals from Roma, but the Italian side chose atalanta boss Gian Piero Gasperini instead.
Moreover, as reported by Gazzetta, Fabregas was happy to start the potential career jump that it could offer – in Como.
The outlet claims that Fabregas spoke by telephone on Wednesday evening with Inter CEO Giuseppe Marotta to discuss the possible movement.
However, there are possible concerns that financial restrictions can cause problems for the Serie A -Giants – that is why they have put other names on the shortlist.
The same outlet claims that Cristian Chivu and Patrick Vieira are both on the shortlist.
Chivu is currently in Parma, but has plans to meet club heads about his future, now that the current season has ended. Vieira is now the manager of Genoa.
Meanwhile, Fabregas arrived for the first time on an interim basis in November 2023, but was offered the full -time role in July 2024.
Since then he has taken the lead on 38 games before the side and, during that, secured promotion from series B to Serie A – before he secured a 10th place finish this season.
In the meantime, Inter was blown away by a beautiful Paris Saint-Germain version on Saturday, with the French champions 5-0 in Munich Triumpheer to win Europe's Elite Club competition for the first time.
The result completed a painful end of the season for Inter, which also missed the Serie A title to Napoli with only one point.
Inzaghi has now decided to leave Inter and is expected to sign a three-year deal with Al-Hilal.
