Attributed to original sourceMonday’s reports claim that Moise Kean is still Como’s first-choice attacking target this summer, but Cesc Fabregas’s side must first move at least three of their current first-team players on first before making a serious attempt to sign the Italy international.
Who must Como sell before making Kean attempt? Como are seeking a new centre-forward to compete with Tasos Douvikas ahead of their first ever Champions League campaign in 2026-27 and Fiorentina striker Kean has been labelled the club’s top target by transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio .

The fact that he is a homegrown or ‘locally-trained’ centre-forward is also useful for Como, who still need more Italian talents to comply with UEFA squad rules.
However, before Como are able to make a serious attempt to bring Kean to the Stadio Sinigaglia, they must first shift a number of their current first-team players.
The trickiest of those players appears to be Alvaro Morata, who had been in talks over a potential move to the USA to join Atlanta United, who had also shown an interest in Romelu Lukaku, but the MLS outfit are now leaning towards Switzerland international Breel Embolo instead.

There has also been interest from Virtus Entella in midfielder Matthias Braunoeder, who spent the 2025-26 season on loan in Serie B with Bari.

What happened
Serie A side Como are keen on signing Moise Kean, the Italian forward currently at Fiorentina. However, according to the report, the club must offload three players first before they can table a serious offer. Kean has been linked with a move away from Fiorentina, and Como's interest highlights their ambition under their current ownership. The financial structure of the deal remains a key obstacle, as Como would need to generate funds through departures before committing to a significant acquisition.
Chance analysis
This is a speculative transfer story that highlights Como's financial constraints despite their ambitious recruitment drive. The requirement to sell three players before pursuing Kean suggests the deal is far from imminent. For Fiorentina, losing Kean would be a significant blow to their attacking options, while Como would gain a talented but inconsistent Italy international if the move materializes. The story's resolution depends on Como's ability to generate transfer revenue, making this a developing situation rather than an imminent transfer.
Como's attacking options remain unchanged in the short term as a potential Kean move is dependent on completing three outgoing transfers first.
Do not factor Kean into Como's upcoming match predictions until concrete transfer progress is made; this remains a conditional interest dependent on sales.
