Midfielder Cesc Fabregas, a former player of Chelsea, Barcelona, and Arsenal, has joined Serie B team Como.

On Monday, the Italian team tweeted a confirmation of Fabregas’ signing.

Fabregas, 35, agreed to a two-year contract and joined on a free transfer from French club Monaco after his contract there expired in June.

“It is an honour and a pleasure to join Como 1907,” Fabregas stated in a statement regarding the transfer.

“I have been extremely fortunate that my career has allowed me to play at the most wonderful clubs. Como is no exception. After lengthy talks with Mirwan, Dennis and Charlie, they explained in detail one of the most exciting and ambitious projects in football.

“This is why I am looking to build a long-term future here not just on the pitch but also off it too. I believed in the vision from the first moment and I have decided to invest personally to be part of the bigger picture.

“I cannot wait to get out on the pitch and play in front of the fans in such a beautiful setting. The tradition, infrastructure and desire that the owners have to take this club to the next level is inspiring. I cannot wait to start.’

Como filed for bankruptcy in 2016, and were only re-founded when a new company took charge of the club in 2017.

They were thrown into the Serie D amateur division that same year, before being taken over by London-based company SENT Entertainment in April 2019.

Fabregas won 13 major trophies in club football, including the Premier League, FA Cup, La Liga and the Europa League.

Also, Fabregas played 110 times for Spain winning the European Championships twice (2008 and 2012) and the World Cup in 2010 held in South Africa.
