The Story in 60 Seconds

Como manager Cesc Fabregas has identified Arsenal, Chelsea, and Barcelona as the only clubs he would leave his current post for, according to Gianluca Di Marzio. The Spaniard reportedly agreed to a symbolic release clause in his latest Como contract specifically tied to potential interest from his three former teams.

Fabregas previously turned down interest from Inter, Roma, and Bayer Leverkusen, and is currently not in a rush to leave Como. The Cult of Calcio writer notes that only a legitimate UEFA Champions League contender would likely lure Fabregas away, while Como would consider Sassuolo coach Alberto Aquilani if Fabregas eventually departs.
