Ever since their return to Serie A, it was expected that Como would be one of the most intriguing Italian clubs during the transfer window due to their unique story. And they are.Attractive signings are rolling in like clockwork in this city by the shores of a glamorous resort. Cesc Fàbregas and the club’s wealthy owners are successfully convincing numerous big names to come to the shores of the beautiful lake. It all started with Raphaël Varane, followed by Pepe Reina and Alberto Moreno. The trio arrived as free agents, and their experience will be of great importance. Additionally, more than €40 million was spent on acquiring Cagliari’s center-back Alberto Dossena, Roma’s forward Andrea Belotti, Sampdoria’s goalkeeper Emil Audero, along with other domestic and international reinforcements. And that’s not the end.Como has today secured two high-profile signings from Barcelona and Real Madrid!##NAJAVA_MECA_8284259##The Italian top-flight team will see Barcelona legend Sergi Roberto don their jersey for the next two years. After 14 years, Roberto left Barça as a free agent. During his time at Barcelona, he won 20 trophies and was part of some formidable generations. He is best remembered for that goal against Paris Saint-Germain in the historic Champions League comeback, but it was time to part ways. He had offers from Eintracht, Roma, Fiorentina, Girona, Sevilla, as well as from the Arab world and the American MLS… But he chose Como for one reason: Cesc Fàbregas. They played together at Barça and in the Spanish national team, are close friends, and Roberto accepted the offer to help the young coach in Serie A. He is expected to arrive in Italy as early as tomorrow, undergo a medical, and sign a two-year contract.Roberto brings immense experience, while youth and talent are arriving from Real Madrid. Como has also secured the purchase of Nicolás Paz, one of the brightest talents from Real’s academy in recent years. The Italians will pay the Spanish club €6 million in compensation, and Real will retain 50% of any future sale, as well as a buy-back clause to bring him back to Madrid if needed.Paz is one of the biggest talents from Real’s academy in recent years. Last season, he made his Champions League debut and scored a fantastic goal against Napoli. He plays as a winger or attacking midfielder, but the competition in Ancelotti’s team is too strong in those positions. He is the son of former Argentine international Pablo Paz, who played for Tenerife, where Nicolás was born. Hence, there was a significant battle between Spain and Argentina over which national team he would represent. He chose Argentina.- Nico Páz (19) from Real Madrid – Máximo Perrone (21) from Man City – Sergi Roberto (32) as a free agentCesc Fabregas is set to complete the signings of all three in the coming days for Como 1907 ✍️🇮🇹 pic.twitter.com/Ux8hQExy5d— LiveScore (@livescore) August 22, 2024 Following in Paz’s footsteps, another talented Argentine from Manchester City could join Como. The club is in final negotiations for the loan of Máximo Perrone (21). The Argentine arrived at Manchester City from Vélez Sarsfield a year and a half ago for €11 million, spent last season on loan at Las Palmas, and made a strong impression. The same goes for his performances during the summer preparations with City’s first team. However, the increasingly likely return of Ilkay Gündoğan blocks his chances of breaking into the first team, so it was decided that the best move for everyone would be for him to move to Como. Negotiations are underway regarding the loan conditions, purchase price, buy-back clause, and City’s percentage if Como buys the Argentine next summer.Cesc Fàbregas is assembling an interesting team…
