Como will add two high-profile Italian players late in the window, as they have completed their chase of Moise Kean and also struck a deal with Milan for Samuele Ricci. The Lariani and the Viola went back and forth throughout the summer. The transfer has finally come together, Fabrizio Romano reports (via SOSFanta).
The striker did what he could to accelerate the talks, showing up late and skipping one practice to make his intentions known. He’s transferring on a €10M loan with a €25M obligation to buy and €5M add-ons. The Gigliati will get the €40M package they were looking for. The 26-year-old had two mixed seasons in Tuscany, registering 25 goals in his maiden one but just 9 in 2025/2026 amid a few injuries.
Como didn’t stop at Kean, as they also reached an agreement for Ricci. He’s joining on a temporary basis and with a simple €22.5M acquisition clause. They will cover his entire salary for this campaign and pay a €1.5M fee. The midfielder is leaving San Siro after just one season, where he was mostly a deputy and amassed 34 appearances, one goal, and 4 assists.
The Viola are trying to acquire Joshua Zirkzee from Manchester United to fill the void.
Our Take on Como Signing Kean and Ricci
They needed more depth due to the busier schedule, and they didn’t mess around with the level of their acquisitions. Money isn’t infinite even for them, as they had to get creative with the formulas. Fabregas has made a lot of players thrive. They’ll be a threat for the very apical positions if the former returns to his old glory, as they are already brimming with offensive talent.
