Como are making some strong moves in the transfer window, with Raphael Varane and Pau Lopez on their transfer list.

As per Nicolo Schiara, Como have reached an agreement with Pau Lopez for a contract till 2027. And now, they need to reach an agreement with Marseille over a transfer fee for the Spaniard. He has a contract with the French side till 2026, and was their first-choice for this past season, meaning Como might have to pay a significant amount.
The Italian side is also on the lookout for a new centre-back, and currently have two choices on their radar. They are pursuing Raphael Varane, who is currently available as a free agent but has received several offers from abroad. It won’t be an easy deal, but manager Cesc Fabregas is pushing for a move.

Cesc Fabregas wants Varane and they will try to make it happen, but there are several clubs interested in Europe and abroad — not an easy one.

The club has also offered a deal to Inter defender Stefano Sensi, who is also available as a free agent. The 28-year-old is yet to respond, but could be a huge addition to the squad if he accepts their proposal.
