Como are looking for players grown in Italy to help with the UEFA Champions League list and, while the future of Nico Paz has yet to be decided, they are concocting more business with Real Madrid.
According to Sky, the Lariani have shown interest in Tarik Muharemovic. Inter have cooled off on him. They saw mostly as an Alessandro Bastoni replacement. However, his price tag is prohibitive.

Per TuttoSport (via Calciomercato Magazine), Como and Napoli have been offered Federico Chiesa, who seems ready to end his tough Liverpool sojourn. The Reds could let him go for €15M, but his salary is high for their standards.
Instead, the Biancoblù will have an easier time signing Luca Pellegrini. He’s on his way out since Lazio will lean on Nuno Tavares and newcomer Alfonso Pedraza at the position. The Italian fullback is being followed by a few Serie A sides.
The Lariani are waiting in the wings for Real Madrid’s election and José Mourinho’s decision on Paz. The player wouldn’t mind staying for one more season, La Gazzetta dello Sport relays. The dealings with Real Madrid could expand to Gonzalo Garcia, who bagged 8 goals in 39 games in a part-time role last season, Thiago Pitarch, and Cesar Palacios, who turned heads with the Castilla team.
Our Take on Como
If Muharemovic is too expensive even for them, which don’t really have a budget but just judge the players’ valuations and decide whether it’s worth it, then he can only go to a Premier League team or Juventus, as they have a 50 percent discount because of a resale clause. It’d be nice if they added Italian in prominent roles and not just to fill out the squad and comply with the regulations.
