Como are targeting USMNT forward Haji Wright as the Biancoblu aim to increase their attacking options for the new season.
Wright is considered to be one of the finest players in England’s second tier and enjoyed a fruitful campaign in front of goal in 2024-25.
The US international’s future is very much up for debate after Coventry failed to secure promotion to the Premier League. Sky Blues boss Frank Lampard could move Wright on in a bid to raise funds.
Latest Haji Wright Transfer News
The latest Haji Wright transfer news has revealed that Como are keeping tabs on the USMNT forward. Real Madrid are set to trigger the €8 million buy back clause for Nico Paz.
If that does materialize, head coach Cesc Fabregas would need to fill the void left by the Argentine star. Serie A rivals Inter are also monitoring Paz so a move away from the Sinigaglia seems likely.
Although Wright did struggle in the latter part of last season, the 27-year-old did net 12 goals from 27 appearances. Wright also missed 19 games owing to an ankle injury.
Como Transfer Targets
Como’s transfer targets over the current transfer window have seen a number of star players linked to the Serie A side. Veteran forward Edin Dzeko and Real Madrid wonderkid Endrick have seen there names mentioned.
The latter could possibly leave Real Madrid on a season-long loan deal. Aged only 18, the Brazil international fits the Biancoblu’s transfer policy of acquiring up-and-coming talents.
With that in mind, that would cast doubt over Dzeko joining and Haji Wright is 27. However, with head coach Cesc Fabregas’ future up in the air, Como’s transfer strategy may shift depending on whether the Spaniard stays or not.
Those who track the best new betting sites can stay ahead of the game and gain an advantage ahead of all the major signings in Europe this window.
