Como president Miran Suwarso denied the existence of a special clause in Cesc Fabregas's managerial contract, saying the 39-year-old does not need one to leave the club. The denial came on Piers Morgan Uncensored after reports in September suggested Fabregas had an agreement allowing him to depart for a fixed fee.
Why it matters
The dispute over Fabregas's exit terms bears on the stability of a club that beat Manchester United 4-1 in the Champions League and whose coach is now linked with a move. Clarity on the contract matters for any future managerial transition at Como.
Como's 4-1 Champions League win over Manchester United on October 21 is the most recent hard result cited. Fabregas's contract, which runs to summer 2028, is the figure at the center of the clause dispute, and the reported fixed fee has not been publicly confirmed.
The players
Cesc Fabregas

Miran Suwarso

Manchester United
English club with 20 league titles, currently struggling in the Premier League and reportedly seeking a new manager and defensive reinforcements.
The details
Suwarso made the denial on Piers Morgan Uncensored, saying Fabregas does not need a clause to leave Como. Reports in September had suggested Fabregas could depart for a fixed fee under a special agreement, a claim the club president has now rejected.
Timeline
September 2026: Reports emerged of a special Fabregas exit agreement.
October 21, 2026: Como beat Manchester United 4-1 in the Champions League.
Summer 2028: Fabregas's Como contract expires.
Season Trajectory
Manchester United's search for a new manager and its interest in Fulham's Calvin Bassey extends a pattern of rapid managerial turnover following the 2024 dismissal of Erik ten Hag. Como's win over United and its Champions League standing suggest the Fabregas-led project is now a competitive factor in European football.
Fantasy and betting readers tracking Como and Manchester United should note that Fabregas's contract status could affect Como's managerial continuity into the 2027-28 campaign. Manchester United's managerial search also bears on the defensive reinforcements expected in the New Year.
The takeaway
Contract clauses in managerial deals often become public only when a club's officials contest them, so Suwarso's denial is a useful signal for readers to watch whether any fee or exit terms are later confirmed.
What happens next
Fabregas's Como contract runs to summer 2028, the date when the exit-clause question would next be tested in full.
