Since then, he has scored 27 goals from 59 Serie A appearances. It was a particularly impressive 2024-25 campaign on an individual level for Kean, as he netted 19 goals in the league, five from 11 outings in the Conference League plus another goal in his only Coppa Italia appearance of that campaign.
Kean is currently averaging a goal every other game for the Italy national team with a tally of 13 from 26 caps.

Kean and Fabregas comment on Como transfer “Moise is an important player, he’s already ready and experienced, but he’s still very hungry and has plenty of room to grow,” said head coach Fabregas in a statement on the club website.

What happened
Serie A side Como have officially completed the signing of forward Moise Kean from Fiorentina for a reported €40 million fee on deadline day. Kean, an Italy international, returns to Serie A after a spell at Juventus and subsequent move to Fiorentina, where he established himself as one of the most promising Italian strikers. The deal marks a major statement of intent from Como, who are backed by wealthy Indonesian owners and have been ambitious in the transfer market. Kean is expected to provide a significant attacking boost for Como as they aim to establish themselves in the top flight.
Chance analysis
Como's capture of Moise Kean for €40m is a clear signal of the club's growing ambition under their Indonesian ownership group, who have been steadily investing in talent to establish Como as a credible Serie A force. Kean, still only 25 and an Italy international with proven Serie A pedigree, represents a high-ceiling signing that elevates Como's attacking options considerably. For Fiorentina, the departure of a player they had developed into a key asset raises questions about their recruitment strategy heading into the window's close. The move also continues the trend of ambitious mid-tier Serie A clubs using their financial backing to disrupt the traditional hierarchy.
Como's attack is significantly strengthened with the addition of Kean, while Fiorentina face a notable loss of firepower and must replace a key attacking player late in the window.
