Barça, Betis, and Como negotiate a 6 million signing: Cesc Fàbregas holds the key

The former Barça player is caught red-handed, and his work could greatly favor a sale for the Catalan team

Cesc Fàbregas made history as a player and is determined to make it as a coach as well, something very difficult. Over the years, the Spaniard has earned merits until leading a team to Serie A. Thanks to him, Como managed to ascend to the Italian first league after 21 years away from it.

Meanwhile, Barça has gone through a rebuilding phase and has had to tread carefully. While Cesc Fàbregas consolidated a project with quite a few resources, those from the Ciudad Condal recruited Hansi Flick. Now, Cesc is playing a vital role in a Barça investment that could end at Betis.

Barça and Cesc Fàbregas

Since Flick's arrival, Barça has taken a step forward and all the players have shown their best level. The German has made a great impression in the Ciudad Condal, and several of the club's stars have publicly admitted they are very happy with him. The coach knows exactly what the squad needs and how to win matches.

In fact, he has made several adjustments to the squad, and despite continuing with Xavi Hernández's project, there have been changes. Several stars whom Xavi trusted have lost prominence or are no longer there. Others have had to go out on loan to regain their form and aspire to a better future.

Coincidentally, Cesc Fàbregas has taken in one of these players: Álex Valle, the left-back who was left without a place. Despite having a lot of quality, Hansi believed he didn't fit into his plans and made him leave temporarily. After some time away, Betis has shown interest in him, and now he could leave permanently.

Cesc Fàbregas is doing an extraordinary job with Como and has made the most of Álex Valle. Although he had some minutes in the preseason, he ended up going to foreign teams in search of playing time. Now, Valle is showing his best football and has established himself in the Italian team.

Betis wants to strengthen the defensive flank and has set its sights on Álex Valle to do so. In fact, Cesc Fàbregas has given him the opportunity he needed, and the Sevillians could pay 6 million euros. According to several media outlets, there have already been approaches between both parties, and it will all be a matter of time.
