Questioned after the friendly between Como and Lille (3-2), Cesc Fàbregas, coach of the Italian club, addressed the rumors of a possible arrival of Lionel Messi.

Antonella Roccuzzo, Messi’s wife, was spotted at the stadium, fueling speculation about a potential transfer of the Argentine star to Serie A, specifically to Como 1907. Fàbregas was quick to set the record straight after the match:

You should never say never (...) Antonella was on vacation, visiting friends. Our families are close. But for now, Leo is in the United States.

At 38, Messi continues to shine for Inter Miami, with 18 goals and 7 assists in 18 matches this season. Under contract until 2025, he is also being courted by Saudi Arabia, where Al-Ahli have reportedly started talks. But the prospect of seeing him at Como, newly promoted and currently tenth in Serie A, already has fans dreaming.
