Como manager Cesc Fabregas has committed his future to the Italian side amid growing speculations of a move to Inter Milan.
The former Chelsea and Arsenal midfielder has been linked to the San Siro as a replacement for Simone Inzaghi, who left earlier this week to join Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia.
Inzaghi leaves Inter
The 49-year old left his role at the UCL finalists, after last Saturday’s embarrassing 5-0 loss to PSG in the final of the Champions League.
Inzaghi won six titles in four years at the club since replacing Antonio Conte, and lost out on the Serie A defence on the final day last season to eventual winners, Napoli.
The former Lazio manager has been announced as coach of Saudi Premier League side Al-Hilal, after leaving the former Scudetto winners on Tuesday.

What Fabregas said
“I really believe in Como’s long-term project, I arrived here as a player and I’m very, very happy because I can work here the way I want,” Fabregas stated.
Como president, Mirwan Suwarso, also emphasized that the 38-year old is committed to staying at the club.
“Our path is long, it will last for several seasons and it revolves around Cesc Fabregas, who will not leave the club”, he said.
Will Fabregas join Inter?
The 38-year old impressed in his first season in the top-flight, after leading Como to promotion to the Serie A ahead of last season.

The club finished 10th in their debut season in the first division, leading to growing interest around the former Barcelona midfielder.
Fabregas, who finished his playing career at Como and is also a shareholder at the club, had previously attracted interest from Bayer Leverkusen and Ajax Amsterdam before Inter’s recent links.
With the Nerazzurri’s top choice of Fabregas as a replacement for Simone Inzaghi, it remains to be seen if the Como manager makes the switch or remains at the club ahead of next season.
