Freedom to dream. The club hasn’t even had time to celebrate their return to Serie A before they start thinking about next season. After all, there’s a championship to prepare for, a season to set up. And goals to reach. The feeling, analyzing the names that gravitate around Como, is that the role that Cesc Fabregas’ team will play is not simply that of a supporting actor, the one that will be satisfied with a salvation on the last day. Of course, they need to keep their feet on the ground, but the wealthy Indonesian owners of the Hartono brothers want to do things in a big way.
Varane in town to negotiate
The first name that makes the fans’ eyes light up is that of Raphael Varane. The French defender has been released by Manchester United and can now settle wherever he wants without the future club paying a single euro except for his salary. The former Real Madrid player arrived in the city in recent days and met with the club but for the moment there is no agreement. The feeling is that there is no rush and that an operation of this kind requires a few more days to find the right balance.
And then there’s Pau Lopez
In goal, however, we continue to chase Pau Lopez. One that the Serie A championship knows very well given that from 2019 to 2021 he defended Roma’s posts. Even in this case there is no rush to close. Certainly the name of the Spaniard, as well as that of Varane, piques the imagination of the Como fans who celebrated the promotion in the streets of the city only two months ago. And now they dream big.
