Como Eyes Kean: Big Sales Needed for Striker Chase

Como's pursuit of Moise Kean as their top attacking reinforcement for the 2026-27 Champions League season faces a significant prerequisite: player sales. Manager Cesc Fabregas's side must successfully move on at least three current first-team players to fund a bid for the Fiorentina striker.

Kean, who has a strong scoring record for both club and country, is a key target due to his prolific form and 'homegrown' status, aiding Como's UEFA squad compliance. However, before a transfer can be initiated, Como needs to address its current squad composition.

Significant outgoing transfers are anticipated. Alvaro Morata, previously linked with a move to Atlanta United, is one such player. Additionally, Ignace van der Brempt is also a candidate for sale, with Genoa in negotiations and other European clubs showing interest.

Further player movements are expected, including midfielder Matthias Braunoeder, who spent last season on loan in Serie B. These sales are crucial for Como to meet financial requirements and pursue Kean.
