He also holds a minority ownership stake at the club, which initially appeared likely to complicate any possible exit.
However, fresh comments from Como president Mirwan Suwarso suggest the door is now wide open if Fabregas decides he wants the challenge of leading Chelsea.
For supporters at Stamford Bridge, the possibility of seeing a familiar face return in the dugout is already generating excitement.

Como willing to let Fabregas join Chelsea
According to City AM, Suwarsco made it clear that Como would not prevent Fabregas from leaving should a bigger opportunity arise.
While the Serie A side would naturally prefer to keep their coach, the club hierarchy understand his ambitions and are prepared to respect his decision.
That stance could prove crucial for Chelsea, who may have feared negotiations becoming complicated because of Fabregas’ coaching role and financial links to Como.
According to GOAL, Fabregas could maintain certain business interests at Como even if he moved back to west London, provided there is no conflict of interest in Italian football.
For Chelsea, this development means they can pursue one of their preferred targets with far fewer obstacles than expected.
Why Chelsea see Fabregas as right fit?
It's worth noting that Cesc Fabregas remains a popular figure among Chelsea fans after winning two Premier League titles (2014/15 and 2016/17) during his playing career at the club.
His understanding of Chelsea’s culture and expectations could make the transition smoother than appointing an outsider.
Beyond sentiment, the 38-year-old is building a growing reputation as a modern coach. He is viewed as tactically sharp, calm under pressure, and capable of developing younger players, all qualities Chelsea’s board are believed to value.
The London side are now looking for their third permanent manager of the 2025/26 season following the departures of Enzo Maresca and Rosenior, underscoring the need for a long-term solution.
Fabregas would represent both a fresh direction and a symbolic reunion with the club’s successful past.
Mourinho tipped for Chelsea comeback
Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that growing speculation has linked Jose Mourinho with a sensational third spell at Chelsea FC after the exit of Liam Rosenior.
The former Real Madrid CF boss previously managed the Blues between 2004 and 2007, guiding them to back-to-back Premier League crowns, before returning in 2013 and delivering another league title in 2015.
