Inter Milan are preparing for life after Simone Inzaghi, with Como coach Cesc Fabregas sitting at the top of Beppe Marotta’s wishlist.

Per Corriere dello Sport via FCInter1908, the Serie A runners-up have already contracted the Spaniard over a potential summer deal.

Simone Inzaghi will hold showdown talks with the club later today to determine his future.

However, there’s a feeling it could only be a formal meeting, with his heart already set on a lucrative switch to Al-Hilal.

Indeed, the Saudis have proposed an eye-watering two-year contract to Inzaghi worth around €50 million.

Therefore, the San Siro heavyweights are reluctant to be caught off guard.

It’s been a dream maiden Serie A season for Cesc Fabregas.

Despite his relative lack of experience in top-flight management, the 38-year-old punched above his weight in 2024/25.

Indeed, he steered Como to a respectable 10th-place finish in their first season back in Serie A after two decades.

As such, he has become one of Europe’s most coveted young managers.

Inter see him as a perfect fit for their long-term plans.

Furthermore, they have already approached him to discuss an immediate arrival.
