Como’s January Transfer Window Reinforces Squad
Como has significantly enhanced their squad during a busy January transfer window, bringing in several key players to bolster both their first team and future prospects. The club made notable signings to strengthen their position in Serie A and build for long-term success.
High-profile acquisitions included midfielder Maxence Caqueret from Lyon for €15 million and winger Assane from Real Betis for €12 million, immediately improving Como’s starting lineup. The club also invested in young talent, signing promising prospects Sebastian Burlacu and Kristians Mezsargs for their U19 team. These internationally capped youngsters from Romania and Latvia respectively showcase Como’s growing appeal and focus on youth development.
Como’s attractive style of play and recent success, including wins over top clubs like Napoli, Roma and Atalanta, have made them an appealing destination for players. Currently sitting 13th in Serie A, the team has impressed with their fluid, brave approach against stronger opponents.
Manager Cesc Fabregas, who earned promotion from Serie B last season, has attracted attention for his tactical approach. Star player Nico Paz has also drawn interest from top European clubs with his performances. New signing Diao has made an immediate impact with 5 goals in 8 games.
The club’s ownership has shown ambition through continued investment. Como’s challenge now is retaining key players and staff to build sustained success. If they can achieve a mid-table finish this season, expectations will be even higher next year. The January window signings demonstrate Como is positioning itself for bigger achievements in Italian football.
