Como on Alexis Sanchez and Karius. The connection with Fabregas

Journalist

June 8 – 09:17 – MILAN

It won’t be a refoundation but we’re close. To face the first Serie A championship after 21 years of absence, Como will have to operate substantially on the market. Sports director Ludi is working in concert with Cesc Fabregas, promoted to “sole” coach after leading the team to direct promotion hand in hand with Osian Roberts. There is a lot to do on the newly promoted squad, which will need to be expanded and strengthened in every department. “This week we will meet with Fabregas to start making some considerations – said Ludi a few days ago -. It will be a prudent market, in line with what has been done in recent years, to give constant growth to the company, if then some opportunity arises that is not we’ll get away with it.” Como needs two expert forwards in the category, at least two midfielders, as many defenders and a goalkeeper.

For the offensive department there is a name that is taking shape and that is Alexis Sanchez. The Chilean is out of contract and will not renew with Inter, in fact he is already a free agent. His idea of ​​him is to stay in Italy and the fact that he lives in a villa with a garden on the lake is not a detail to be underestimated. The “Niño Maravilla” is 35 years old but is still an intact and hungry striker. This season for the Nerazzurri he has played only 750 minutes in the league (6 times as a starter), scoring 2 goals and providing 5 assists. Another element that could tip the scales for Fabregas’ team – other Serie A teams would also have moved on Sanchez, including Parma – is the knowledge between the Chilean and the Spaniard who played together at Barcelona for three seasons , from 2011 to 2014. Excellent years for both: for Sanchez 39 goals in 88 games (many assisted by Cesc); for Fabregas 96 games and 28 goals. Five trophies lifted together in the Blaugrana between the Spanish championship, cup and super cup and the Club World Cup. Sanchez earned 2.8 million net per season at Inter, a figure well above the club’s parameters, but the Chilean would obviously have to adjust his salary downwards.

There are many names circulated for the attack. If Ludi has denied the high-sounding claims of former Inter players Icardi and Correa, important profiles such as Pinamonti and Belotti have not been deleted from his notebook. The midfield also needs to be strengthened, which at the moment only counts on Baselli, Bellomo, Abilgaard, Kone (returning from a serious injury), and the young Braunoder. In the sights is another expiring contract with Inter, Stefano Sensi, and Daniel Boloca from Sassuolo, two players looking for a relaunch after a difficult season. A little different story for the door. It remains to be understood whether the objective is to place a competitor or a “second” alongside the Croatian Semper. In the first case, the names circulated are those of Alessio Cragno from Sassuolo (owned by Monza) and Loris Karius leaving Newcastle, who would not disdain the destination that would allow him to get closer to Milan where his future wife Diletta Leotta and daughter live. Aria Rose born last August. Finally, for the defence, Ferrari from Sassuolo and Dossena from Cagliari are liked.
