Como FC Aims to Make Waves in the Transfer Market
Despite being embroiled in a relegation battle, Como FC, guided by Cesc Fabregas, has become one of the most talked-about teams in Serie A. After a dominant performance in Serie B last season, the Italian club generated high expectations that have yet to be fulfilled in the top flight. Now, they’re looking to bolster their squad during the winter transfer window.
Como FC made headlines during the previous transfer period, investing up to 50 million euros in high-profile signings such as Sergi Roberto, Pepe Reina, Nico Paz, and Alberto Moreno. However, despite these acquisitions, Fabregas’s team has struggled in the first half of the season and finds itself fighting for survival. This predicament has prompted the club to re-enter the transfer market, with Dele Alli and Rafa Marin emerging as potential targets.
Dele Alli, currently training with his former club Everton, could be headed to Italy. The English midfielder was spotted at a recent Como-Roma match, fueling speculation. Fabregas commented on the situation, hinting at the possibility of Alli training with Como after Christmas. According to reports, if the coaching staff is impressed, Alli could join the club as a free agent.
Rafa Marin’s case differs. The Spanish center-back, currently with Napoli but lacking playing time, has reportedly requested a loan move. Como could provide a solution for the defender.
Other potential reinforcements include Juan Butez, goalkeeper from Antwerp, and Fabiano Parisi, a left-back from Fiorentina. Additionally, Como recently announced a collaboration agreement with Ajax, which could lead to surprise reinforcements from Amsterdam.
As Como FC aims to secure its place in Serie A, the club’s transfer activity in the coming weeks will be crucial in shaping their fortunes for the remainder of the season.
