Chelsea has the most complete trophy room in the world . |
While the Serie A giants are still groping in the transfer market, Como - a seemingly humble name - has created a real earthquake. And the person behind that revolution is none other than Cesc Fabregas, the former conductor of Barcelona and Chelsea. With strategic vision, sharpness and the ability to "read" the market, Cesc is transforming Como from a rookie into an ambitious challenger in Serie A.
"Rookie" but not weak
The 2024/25 season marks Como’s return to Serie A after nearly two decades away. But what has surprised experts is that the club is not behaving like a newly promoted team. More than €100 million will be poured into the summer transfer market in 2025 - a figure that even the traditional giants will be wary of.
The list of big-name signings continues: Maxi Perrone - the "gem" that once belonged to Man City - officially signed a long-term contract until 2029. Nico Paz, a promising young talent of Real Madrid, also continues to stick with Como despite the buy-back clause from the Spanish Royal team. The attack line has added Jesus Rodriguez from Betis for 23 million euros, Nicolas Kuhn from Celtic for 19 million euros, Martin Baturina from Dinamo Zagreb (18 million euros) and Jayden Addai from AZ Alkmaar (14 million euros).
With this new collection of players, Como is no longer a "underdog". They are ready to challenge all opponents right from the opening round of Serie A.

Fabregas helped Como become a phenomenon of Serie A. |
Fabregas, with his calm but decisive demeanor, is painting a bold picture of Como's future. The footballing philosophies he learned at Barcelona, Arsenal and Chelsea are now being distilled into a systematic team-building plan.
Lazio coach Pedro exclaimed: “Cesc is very young, but the way he organises the team and conveys his ideas is truly remarkable. We will face an extremely difficult Como from the opening match.”
It was the absolute trust of the owner duo Robert and Michael Hartono that made Cesc the center of every decision. Bayer Leverkusen wanted to bring him in to replace Xabi Alonso, and AC Milan also "flirted" before choosing Allegri. But Como kept their man with promises and a long-term development plan.
Morata and the dream of reaching new heights
Not only stopping at young talents, Cesc also aims for "blockbuster" contracts in terms of both name and influence. Alvaro Morata - captain of the Spanish national team - agreed to join. Just waiting for AC Milan to finalize the procedure, Como will have a top-class center forward to improve the attack.
In addition, Como also has a long-term vision with the renovation of the Sinigaglia stadium. It is expected that by 2026, the stadium will have a new look, becoming a real "cathedral" for the ambitious football project of the Lombardy team.

With Fabregas, Como has the right to dream big. |
When people call Como the “new giant” of Serie A, it is not just about money. It is also a combination of strategic vision, building a foundation from the ground up and the commitment of an experienced coach like Fabregas.
With over €100m spent, plus solid moves in the transfer market, Como have shown that they are not just looking to stay in the league. The goal is to become a force - and Fabregas is the "chief architect" of this dream.
If the 2025/26 season is a chess game, Como has made a bold opening move. And who knows, with Cesc Fabregas at the helm, the next Serie A fairytale could be written in the land of Lake Como.
