A crunch meeting between Inter Milan and Cesc Fabregas is about to take place in London in the coming hours.

Per Sky Sport via FCInterNews, the parties will meet for showdown talks tonight, with the Nerazzurri still hoping to close the deal.

Indeed, Beppe Marotta has identified Fabregas as Simone Inzaghi’s successor at Stadio San Siro.

However, the 38-year-old Spaniard has turned down Inter’s approach as he intends to stay at Como.

Despite the initial rejection, the Serie A giants haven’t lost hope of convincing the Spaniard to change his mind.

Inter Milan & Cesc Fabregas Set for Showdown Talks in London

Cesc Fabregas remains Inter’s primary target to replace Inzaghi.

Yet, the former Arsenal midfielder seems determined to stay at Como after admitting he ‘believes in the project.’

Tonight could be Inter’s last chance to get Fabregas’ go-ahead.

Otherwise, they’ll likely turn to other options, considering time is becoming a factor.

Indeed, Inter will take part in the FIFA Club World Cup in a fortnight.

Therefore, the appointment of a new manager is the highest priority.

With that in mind, the hypothesis of Patrick Vieira’s return to San Siro has started to pick up momentum.

Inter may go after the Frenchman in charge of Genoa, whose €500,000 release clause shouldn’t be a problem.
