Como Transfer Plans Fuel European Ambitions

Como is getting bigger and bigger. Hartono’s team is having a great season in Serie A so far, currently sitting in 6th place with one more game to play in order to put pressure on the Champions League spots.

While Cesc Fàbregas’ team has been performing well on the pitch, the Como management has been working behind the scenes to provide the Spanish coach with two new players to strengthen the current squad and maximise the team’s chances of success at the end of the season.

Race Heats Up for Branimir Maletic

Inter are optimistic about signing the young Branimir Mlacic, but until they finalise the deal with Hajduk Split for the 18-year-old, who is already a key player for the Croatian team, they cannot rest easy.

This is because many other clubs are interested in the player, including Barcelona, Simone Inzaghi’s Al Hilal. Inter made an official offer yesterday for the 192-centimetre central defender.

Will it be enough? Como is currently trying to overtake them. Thanks to its extensive scouting network, Como pays close attention to the most promising talents in Europe and beyond, including the Croatian Mlacic.

However, Como wants to balance things out by bringing in an experienced player and beating the competition here too. Bernardo Silva is Fabregas’ dream signing.

Bernardo Silva the Ultimate Como Dream To Become True

There are many clues pointing to Como. Di Canio’s own statements suggest as much. The former Lazio, West Ham and Juventus striker did not mention any specific team. However, he spoke of a ‘beautiful city surrounded by water’ and of ‘prospects for the future’.

Como certainly has water, and several current and former footballers — including Cesc Fàbregas and Thierry Henry — have interests in the increasingly international and ambitious Hartono brothers’ club.

As Farbregas said: However, there are plenty of alternatives. Spalletti’s Juventus has reportedly been pursuing Bernardo Silva several times, who is perhaps the most credible solution among the other Serie A teams.

In Como, however, there is Fabregas himself, who has said in the past:

‘If I had to choose a player from the Premier League, it’s hard to say, but I’m a big fan of Odegaard at Arsenal and Bernardo Silva at Manchester City. They’re the kind of players who keep improving year after year, and I can really relate to them because of their characteristics.”
