Meanwhile, Como is also making progress in their quest to sign Pau Lopez as their new goalkeeper. Negotiations are progressing well on both the player and club sides, with Como currently leading the race against Monza, who also expressed interest in the Marseille goalkeeper. Fabregas is keen to blend experience with youthful energy in his squad, and Lopez fits perfectly into this vision.
Just a few days ago, Como made headlines by securing Andrea Belotti from AS Roma. The official confirmation of the deal has seen Belotti sign for €4.5 million plus add-ons, bringing a wealth of experience and goal-scoring prowess to the team.
