Como to sign Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester City players in stunning midfield rebuild

Newly promoted Serie A side Como have rebuilt their midfield with a stunning triple swoop in a matter of 48 hours. News first broke of them approaching Manchester City for the signing of Maxime Perrone a couple of days ago and since then, they seem to have finalized that as well as deals for Nico Paz from Real Madrid and free agent Sergi Roberto.

They have an interesting summer, also signing the likes of Raphael Varane, Pepe Reina, Alberto Moreno and Andrea Belotti. In case you are wondering what the lure is, the club are managed by Cesc Fabregas and have an interesting project. Como in itself is a beautiful city to live in.

Roberto, who left Barcelona recently, will sign a two year at the Italian club. The 32 year old had been at the Catalan club for 18 years, even captaining them last season. However, with new boss Hansi Flick arriving, he was deemed surplus to requirements.

Perrone was signed by Manchester City from Velez Sarsfield in Argentina in 2023. He spent last season impressing on loan in La Liga with Las Palmas. Perrone is expected to arrive on an initial loan deal with the option to buy.

Paz is more attacking than the other two and has been considered as one of the best players in Real Madrid’s academy for a couple of years now. Como will pay a fee of €6.5 million for his services and Real will have a sell-on clause of 50 percent. Real also have a buyback clause in the move.
