Cesc Fàbregas began his journey as an elite coach last year. Leading Como 1907, the former Barça midfielder is building a competitive team and, to do so, he has decided to strengthen with Barça talent.
So far, he signed Sergi Roberto and Álex Valle, a left-back who was on loan at Celtic, in the summer and who has now joined Como. These additions reinforce the idea that Fàbregas wants to surround himself with players with Barça DNA to give the team a quality boost.
Cesc Looks to La Masia
This is just the beginning. Cesc's intention is to take Como to the top, and to do so, he will continue signing this summer. With his ambition and knowledge of elite soccer, he seeks to create a team that plays well and is competitive in Serie A, where the club has already achieved promotion.
In this regard, his extensive knowledge of La Masia is a key factor in his planning. Trained in Barça's youth academy and having shared the locker room with generations of Barça talent, Cesc wants to leverage his relationship with the Catalan club to continue signing players. His commitment to footballers trained in the Barça style could be a smart move to provide Como with a more attractive and effective game.
Barça's Youth Academy Impresses with Lamine Yamal, Pau Cubarsí, Gavi...
Like everyone else, Cesc Fàbregas is impressed with the emergence of young talents like Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsí. These players have shown that La Masia remains a star factory.
Lamine, with his dribbling and flair, has established himself as one of the great stars of world soccer, while Cubarsí is already an undisputed starter. Fàbregas, who knows firsthand the pressure and demands of Barça, knows that these players can define an era at the club.
The Player Cesc Fàbregas Wants
But there is one footballer in particular who has sparked great interest in Cesc for the next season: Toni Fernández. This left winger, only 16 years old, is one of La Masia's great promises, and his talent has not gone unnoticed by Como's coach. According to 'El Nacional', Fàbregas wants to secure his loan so that he can get minutes in Serie A and continue his progression in a competitive environment.
If Barça agrees to the loan, Toni Fernández could follow the path of other players who have temporarily left to gain experience. With his one-on-one ability, his capacity to create danger, and his maturity despite his age, the young striker could benefit from Fàbregas's offensive style. It will be interesting to see if this operation materializes in the summer and if Cesc continues turning the Italian team into a haven for young Barça players.
