The 35-year-old became a free agent this summer after three and a half years at AS Monaco in the French Ligue 1. Fabregas is a World Cup winner in 2010 and a two-time European champion (2008 & 2010) with Spain.

Hundreds of fans turned up for his official unveiling. Following his arrival at Como, Fabregas also became part-owner of the club.

Fabregas: ‘I’m looking to build a future here on and off the pitch’

“It is an honor and a pleasure to join Como,” Fabregas said.

“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 (Suwarso), Dennis (Wise) and Charlie (Ludi), they explained in detail one of the most exciting and ambitious projects in football,” Fabregas added.

“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,” the midfielder added.

“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 are inspiring. I cannot wait to start,” Fabregas concluded.

He trained for the first time alongside his new teammates on Tuesday. Como finished 13th last season in Serie B, but dreams to get promoted at the end of the current campaign.

Como is now at +3200 to win Serie B this season, with bookies not placing them among the favorites to seal promotion either. The club sits at +1500 to play top-flight football in 2023.

He became a free agent this summer and Como took advantage of the opportunity and convinced him to pen a contract until 2024. Fabregas, now 35, will be unveiled on Monday at local time 3 PM at the Hilton Hotel. Como belongs to the English company Sent entertainment, which is controlled by Indonesian billionaire brothers Hartono. The two are involved in the tobacco industry and own stakes in a big Indonesian bank, being considered some of the richest club owners in world football. Como spent last season in Serie B, finishing 13th, 12 points above the relegation zone and 11 points behind the play-offs leading to promotion. The club’s ambition is to play top-flight football as soon as possible.

Fabregas’ CV includes the 2020 World Cup trophy, as well as two European triumphs in 2008 and 2012 with Spain. At club level, he won no fewer than 12 trophies, including the Spanish La Liga and the English Premier League. Chelsea legend Dennis Wise, who is acting as Como’s sporting director, convinced Fabregas to play in the Serie B.

Como last played in the Serie A in the 2002-03 season, with three successive relegations getting them to Serie C2, where they eventually went bankrupt. The club was reformed and climbed the league ladder with difficulty. Como got back to Serie B in 2021, two years after the Hartono brothers took charge.

Despite the signing of Fabregas, the bookies don’t see Como among the protagonists of the Serie B season. The team only sits at +5000 to win Serie B this season and at +1500 to get promoted.

The Man. United hierarchy insists Ronaldo isn’t for sale, while ten Hag informed the media he’s preparing for the upcoming season with Ronaldo as part of his plans. Still, Ronaldo and his agent, Jorge Mendes, are working to find options on the market. It’s understood informal talks with Atletico Madrid have lost pace, while Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, and Chelsea decided not to go after Ronaldo when his services were offered to them by Mendes.

According to The Athletic, the last club to enter an initial phase of negotiations for the five-time Ballon d’Or winner is Sporting Lisbon. Ronaldo’s first professional club is tempting him with Champions League football. Sporting will enter the group stage after finishing second in Portugal last season. The 37-year-old Ronaldo is desperate to continue his chase of personal records at the highest level — that being one of the main reasons behind his request to leave United. The Reds will only play in the Europa League starting in September after finishing in sixth place in 2021-22.

Sporting would need to work out a way to sign Ronaldo given his high wage demands.

Ronaldo isn’t expected to be involved in United’s friendly against Atletico Madrid in Oslo on Saturday, but could play a day later against Rayo Vallecano at Old Trafford. Ronaldo is said to be fit after training individually in Portugal while United was away touring Asia and Australia in the preseason.

Ronaldo hits out at the media

Ronaldo took to Instagram to comment on his current situation, attacking the media for what he calls ‘lies’ regarding his future.

“Impossible not to talk about me for one day,” he wrote. “Otherwise the press makes no money. You know that if you don’t lie you can’t get people’s attention. Keep going like that and one day you’ll get some news right.”

His sister, Elma Aveiro, also took to social media to defend her brother. She shared a post from a fan that read “You can keep talking like a parrot, he will shut everyone up in no time. Patience.”

The bookies believe Ronaldo will be with Manchester United even after the transfer window closes at the beginning of September. His odds of staying at Old Trafford are now -230. Sporting climbed over Atletico Madrid as Ronaldo’s most probable transfer destination in case he does leave this summer. The Portuguese side sits at +300 to sign Ronaldo, with Atletico now at +750. Chelsea is at +1100, while Bayern and Juventus stand at +1400.

Ronaldo was United’s top goal-scorer last season, netting 24 times across all competitions. He’s tied to the club until 2023.

Unhappy with the lack of signings at the club during the transfer window, head coach Ivan Juric spoke to the club’s hierarchy. That infuriated Davide Vagnati, the sporting director, who took Juric’s complaints personal. The pair was filmed screaming at each other before a third person came between them as the conflict went close to becoming physical.

“If you go to the president without telling me it means you don’t respect me,” Vagnati is heard shouting, while Juric tries to walk away. “Leave me alone, get the f*** away! You want to do everything. Imbecile!” the coach is heard saying back. The verbal exchange went on for seconds. The filming stops right as the third Torino employee enters the scene to stop a physical confrontation from taking place. According to sources in Italy, one of the team’s players is suspected to have leaked the video to the media.

Torino sold Bremer to city arch-rivals Juventus

During the current transfer window, Torino sold Brazilian star defender Bremer to Juve for $43 million and lost Italy striker Andrea Belotti once his contract expired. In exchange, Samuele Ricci, Brian Bayeye, Etrit Berisha, and Pietro Pellegri were signed for a combined total fee of $15 million.

Torino finished the 2021-22 Serie A season in 10th place. The club aims at taking a step forward this year to become a European contender.

A shock top four finish for Torino that would allow them into the Champions League group stage is now at +2200. Fancy a bet on the underdog? Torino winning the Scudetto is at a huge +50000. The odds are lower for Torino getting relegated at +1000, though.

Inter is the early favorite to win Serie A 2022-23, at +160, just ahead of Juventus at +180. Champions AC Milan sits at +350, while AS Roma comes fourth in the odds race at +350.

More than 10K supporters gathered at the Fendi Palace to show Dybala their love. “I am very happy to meet you. Playing in Rome was always difficult for the teams I was part of. I can’t wait to enter the Olimpico with you backing me this time,” Dybala told the fans, as hundreds of flares were lit.

“I want to get to my best form as soon as possible. Roma is my destiny,” the former Juventus forward said.

The 28-year-old won’t be involved in Wednesday’s friendly with Ascoli, but is expected to feature against Tottenham on Saturday in one of Roma’s last tests this summer.

Dybala broke Ronaldo’s Serie A shirt sales record

In his first 24 hours as an AS Roma player, Dybala broke his first record at the club. The Argentinian sold more shirts with his name on the back than Cristiano Ronaldo did when he signed for Juventus in 2018.

The AS Roma shops were packed with fans asking to get Dybala’s No. 21 shirt. He wears the same number on Argentina’s national team.

Under Jose Mourinho, Roma is looking to return to glory at Olimpico. After winning the Conference League last season, Roma is looking to challenge Juventus, Inter, and AC Milan in the Serie A title race.

Bookies place them fourth in the Scudetto odds race this year. Roma is at +900 to win the league, behind Inter at +160, Juventus at +180, and AC Milan at +350.

Pogba hoped his fortunes would change after an injury-stricken season at Manchester United, but doctors saddened him with their verdict. The 29-year-old’s fresh knee problem is more serious than it was first believed. Last season, Pogba battled hamstring and calf injuries and was only limited to 16 Premier League starts.

“Following the pain reported in his right knee, Paul Pogba was subjected to radiological investigations which revealed a lesion of the lateral meniscus,” Juventus confirmed. “In the next few hours, he will undergo a specialist orthopedic consultation. Therefore, he will not take part in the trip to Dallas to continue treatment,” the club added.

Juventus is in the market for a potential replacement, with Paris Saint-Germain’s Leandro Paredes under consideration. Pogba could be out until October if tests confirm he needs knee surgery.

Juventus expected to challenge Inter in the Scudetto race

Juve’s series of consecutive titles stopped at nine in 2020, as the Italian giants fell behind Milan-based rivals Inter and AC Milan in 2021 and 2022. Bookies expect the Old Lady to be a strong contender in the title race this season. At +180, Juventus is the second-favorite to win the Scudetto behind Inter at +160. Italian champions AC Milan come next at +350, while Jose Mourinho’s AS Roma is fourth at +900.

Apart from signing Pogba, Juve secured Bremer’s arrival from Torino for more than $40 million, while also convincing Angel Di Maria to join once his contract with Paris Saint-Germain ended on June 30. The most important departure is that of Dutch defender Matthijs de Ligt, who left to join Bayern Munich in a $70 million transfer.

West Ham will pay Sassuolo $36 million, with another six coming in add-ons if performance clauses are met. The Italian club will also keep 10% of a future transfer fee. Scamacca also interested PSG this summer, but the French club thought the asking price was too high and refused to bid.

Scamacca scored 16 goals in 36 Serie A games last season at Sassuolo. He is on seven caps for Italy without scoring. The 23-year-old is set to become West Ham’s fourth recruit this summer after Nayef Aguerd, Alphonse Areola and Flynn Downes.

Once the Scamacca deal becomes official, the English club will focus on another offensive reinforcement. Frankfurt’s Filip Kostic is also close to sign, according to transfer market specialist Fabrizio Romano. The 29-year-old Serbian is valued at around $15 million by Europa League winners Frankfurt.

Amadou Onana from Lille and Armando Broja from Chelsea also remain targets for West Ham, who lost the chance to re-sign Jesse Lingard though. The former Manchester United attacker agreed terms with newly promoted Nottingham Forest, despite early indication he was going to play again for West Ham after a successful loan spell in the 2020-21 campaign.

How will West Ham do in the new season?

The Hammers finished seventh in the Premier League last season and also played the semifinals of the Europa League, only losing to eventual winners Eintracht. The bookies predict another consistent campaign for David Moyes and his boys.

West Ham is at -150 for a top 10 finish. A top six presence will be a tough job for WHU next season, the bookmakers believe. Newcastle at +220 is better placed, with Leicester at an identical +450. Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester United and Arsenal are the favorites to head the table at the conclusion of the season.

In 2022-23, West Ham’s Champions League dreams lost fuel in the last third of the Premier League fixtures’ list. A seat inside the top four for West Ham at the end of the following campaign is now at +1400.

At European stage, West Ham will compete in the UEFA Conference League, the third-most important continental competition. Betting on the outright winners of the cup is not yet active, but WHU sit among the early favorites to lift the trophy in 2023.

Manchester United would be paid a $30 million transfer fee, while the agency representing Ronaldo, Gestifute, would get an additional $20 million.

A five-time Ballon d’Or winner, Ronaldo is under contract with Manchester United until the end of next season. He’s made it clear he wants to find a new club as soon as possible. His agent, Jorge Mendes, offered his services to Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, and FC Barcelona, all of whom declined.

Ronaldo didn’t travel with the United squad that’s now on tour in Australia. Ronaldo and the club cited personal reasons to explain his absence. United’s new head coach Erik ten Hag says he’s planning the following season with Ronaldo on his squad, also adding in a press conference that the 37-year-old is “not available for transfer.”

Odds are Ronaldo will stay in place

Betting on Ronaldo going to Saudi Arabia is currently unavailable in the major bookies’ offers. Odds suggest Man. United is the favorite to be Ronaldo’s club, even after the transfer window shuts at the end of August. Ronaldo staying at Old Trafford is now at -150.

A move to Chelsea sits at +275 while a transfer to Bayern is at +400. Joining Paris Saint-Germain returns bettors +1200, while a transfer to Sporting Lisbon stands at +1400. AS Roma is behind at +1800.

Real Madrid, where Ronaldo wrote history during his nine years at the club, sits at +2200. Juventus and FC Barcelona sit next at +2500. At +3300, Inter is given marginal chances of signing the legendary forward, while a shock move to Tottenham is regarded as totally unlikely (+3300). Man City is second from bottom in the odds charts at +5000, with only Arsenal below at +8000.

According to French paper Le Parisien, PSG’s bosses don’t currently have a place for Ronaldo in the starting lineup.

Instead, Paris wants to build the team around Kylian Mbappe, who’s fresh from signing a contract extension at the club. The 23-year-old is likely to have Messi and Neymar alongside him in the PSG attack for next season. As of now, there’s no room available for Ronaldo in PSG’s starting lineup, the club believes.

Apart from sporting reasons, PSG is reluctant to enter the chase for Ronaldo’s signature because of his high wages. The French giants are already under scrutiny after being accused of breaking the UEFA financial fair play rules and don’t want more attention going to the club’s financial dealings. PSG chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi said publicly that the team will focus on building a winning spirit more than exploring its glam side. Ronaldo is not seen as fitting the new philosophy.

Ten Hag: ‘Ronaldo is not for sale’

Ronaldo is still eager to find a new club after informing United he sees his future elsewhere. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has yet to report for training and is likely to miss the entire summer tour of Thailand and Australia under new manager Erik ten Hag.

The Dutchman wants Ronaldo to stay and assures he’s planning the season with the 37-year-old as part the team. Ten Hag also said this week that “Ronaldo is not for sale.”

“He’s not with us and it’s due to personal issues,” Ten Hag insisted. “We are planning for Cristiano Ronaldo to play during the season. I’m looking forward to working with him. I have read that he wants to leave, but what I say is Cristiano is not for sale. He is in our plans and we want success together.”

Ten Hag revealed he spoke to Ronaldo before talk of a transfer came up. “I had a conversation with him and we had a good talk. What we spoke about stays between Cristiano and me, but what I can confirm is, we had a really good conversation together,” ten Hag said.

Tyrell Malacia is the only player who signed for United so far this summer. After doing business with Feyenoord for the fullback, Man. Utd. is trying to buy another important player from the Dutch League. Ten Hag’s former player from Ajax Amsterdam, Lisandro Martinez, is closing in on a move to Old Trafford.

Despite being heavily linked with Chelsea over the past week, Ronaldo is now at +275 to join the West London club. After ten Hag’s show of support, United stands at -150 to keep him beyond the current transfer window. A transfer to Bayern is at +400, while a move to PSG stands far away, at +1200. Jose Mourinho would be eager to reunite with his fellow countryman, but Roma only sits at +1800 to convince Ronaldo. Sporting Lisbon, Ronaldo’s boyhood club, is at +1400.

According to Sky Sport Germany journalist Forian Plettenberg, Barcelona will also include bonuses that would see the final amount come in around $55 million.

Lewandowski reported for his Bayern preseason medical check today, then went to the club’s training ground to undergo further tests. Reports that Lewandowski would go on strike to force a transfer and that he was planning to skip his medical proved unfounded as the 33-year-old respected his contract commitments. After repeatedly going public on his wish to leave, it’s not certain if Lewandowski will be integrated into normal training or if he’ll be left out.

Barcelona had three previous bids for Lewandowski rejected, with the highest so far estimated at around $45 million.

Lewandowski out, De Ligt in?

According to Bild, Bayern had a $60 million offer for De Ligt turned down by Juventus. It’s believed the Italian club values the Dutchman at $80 million. Sources close to the negotiations claim an agreement is possible for a guaranteed fee of $70 million, with around $10 million in bonuses.

De Ligt is now at -500 to join Bayern during the current transfer window, with the next potential destination on the odds charts being Chelsea, at +400. The bookies don’t see De Ligt staying, placing Juventus at +600 to keep him beyond the summer.

Lewandowski, meanwhile, is at -330 to become an FC Barcelona player. Bayern is at +400 to keep him while a transfer to Paris Saint-Germain is at +600. Chelsea’s hunt for a top striker is expected to omit Lewandowski, as the West Londoners sit at +1000 to sign him this year.

The Bayern faithful are sure that Lewandowski, who finished as a runner-up in the race for the 2021 Ballon d’Or and won FIFA’s The Best award, will find it hard to change his mind. Bayern got the player’s message, despite the hierarchy’s stance in June that he’s not available for transfer. The club decided to stop selling Lewandowski-branded shirts at their official store for the time being. Lewandowski has one year remaining in his deal with Bayern, meaning that if he stays for 12 more months, he’ll be able to walk away for free in 2023.
