Como's €45m chase for Kean gains Cesc Fabregas' backing

Italian Serie A club Como have moved into serious pursuit of Fiorentina striker Moise Kean, arranging formal talks with the La Viola between Tuesday and Wednesday as they prepare for next season’s Champions League, and are fully aware of his €45 million release clause and €5 million‑a‑year wage demand.

Como will compete in the Champions League next season, a development that has prompted the club to bolster its attacking options. Securing a proven Serie A forward is seen as central to their European ambitions.

The Ligurians have outlined a plan to acquire the striker, and former Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas has publicly praised Kean’s abilities.

An initial offer has already been tabled, and Como intend to intensify their pursuit during the coming week.

Fiorentina, known as La Viola, have opened the door to a possible exit despite the hefty release clause, and have named Mateo Pellegrino as a potential replacement to smooth Kean’s departure.

Como are also seeking a discount on the €5 million annual wage demand, hoping to reduce the salary burden while adding firepower for their European campaign.
