Como 1907 Shakes Up Winter Transfer Market
Como 1907, the team managed by Cesc Fabregas, has once again made headlines in the transfer market despite their ongoing battle against relegation in Serie A. After an impressive season in Serie B last year, the Italian club generated high expectations but has struggled to meet them in the top flight, despite significant summer investments.
Following an inconsistent first half of the season, Como has again flexed its financial muscle in the winter transfer window. The club has invested over 50 million euros, making them the biggest spenders in Italian football this January. Their notable acquisitions include:
- Maxence Caqueret from Lyon (15 million euros)
- Anastasios Douvikas from Celta Vigo (13 million euros)
- Assane Diao from Real Betis (12 million euros)
- Mëgim Vojvoda from Torino (2.5 million euros)
- Jean Butez from Royal Antwerp (2.1 million euros)
- Iván Azón from Real Zaragoza (2 million euros)
- Ivan Smolcic from HNK Rijeka (1.6 million euros)
- Jonathan Ikoné on loan from Fiorentina
- Álex Valle on loan from Barcelona
- Dele Alli as a free agent
While the impact of these signings remains to be seen, some players like Caqueret and Diao have already secured starting positions and are showing promise. The addition of Dele Alli, who has yet to debut, has also generated excitement among fans.
Como 1907’s ambitious winter spending spree demonstrates their determination to climb the Serie A table. It will be interesting to see how these new additions affect the team’s performance in the crucial latter half of the season.
