Recently promoted Como are preparing to make a significant impact in Serie A, with plans to invest heavily in strengthening their squad this summer.
According to information from journalist Nicolo Schira, the Italian club's wealthy ownership group—reportedly the richest among all Serie A teams—is ready to allocate between €80-100 million for new signings ahead of the upcoming season.
The ambitious transfer strategy aims to transform Como from newcomers into European contenders in just one season. The club's shopping list is comprehensive, targeting reinforcements across multiple positions: two central defenders, one fullback, a central midfielder, an attacking midfielder or winger, and a striker.
This aggressive approach underscores Como's long-term vision under the leadership of former Arsenal, Barcelona, and Chelsea star Cesc Fabregas, who guided the team to promotion. Statbet analysis shows that newly promoted teams with significant financial backing have historically improved their survival chances in top European leagues by approximately 40% when investing over €50 million.
With their wealthy backers and clear strategic planning, Como are positioning themselves not merely as Serie A participants but as potential disruptors to the established hierarchy of Italian football.
