Como Transfer Market: The Champions League-caliber goalkeeper has arrived; the Lariani are unstoppable

Como is set to wrap up its summer transfer window with a bang: Spanish goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, born in 1997, is on his way from Chelsea.

The Spanish goalkeeper joins his compatriot Cesc Fabregas: he started in the Blues’ first Premier League match against Fulham but then lost his starting spot to new signing Emiliano “Dibu” Martinez. Sanchez, who has been with Chelsea since 2023, made eight appearances for the London club in last season’s Champions League: he brings charisma and experience to the young Como squad.

Como is also preparing to officially announce Moise Kean, who underwent his physical on Monday and is about to sign a contract with the Larian club. Fiorentina accepted the offer of 35 million euros plus 5 in bonuses and, after acquiring Beto from Everton, gave the green light to finalize the deal.

Como has just claimed victory at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, defeating Napoli 2-1 with goals from Baturina and Douvikas and climbing to 4 points in the standings. It was a performance that impressed the experts, so much so that RAI commentator Daniele Adani unreservedly praised Fabregas and his project: “Como has so many qualities. There’s a strong shared vision across all levels of the club; everyone speaks the same language. They have a coach with unique ideas—ideas that are unique in Italy but reflect what is often sought in international soccer.” With the arrival of Sanchez and Kean, Como is now poised to kick off its historic first Champions League campaign—which will see them make their debut at home against Leipzig—with an even more competitive and deep roster.
