Attributed to original sourceReports are growing that Como will improve their opening €20m offer for Galatasaray and Colombia international defender Davinson Sanchez.
There had already been Italian suggestions that the Lariani had turned towards the experienced centre-back, who turns 31 this weekend, after backing off Chelsea man Trevoh Chalobah.

(Photo by Ahmad Mora/Getty Images) According to La Gazzetta dello Sport , Como have already made an opening proposal to Galatasaray worth a total of around €20m including add-ons.
That might not be sufficient, as the Turkish side is holding out for closer to €25-30m, especially after his impressive 2026 World Cup campaign with Colombia.
This is not the only obstacle, because his salary of over €3m per season net is going to be a challenge for Como too.
The Turkish Super Lig is able to offer massive wage deals compared to Serie A because of the different taxation regime.
Galatasaray purchased Sanchez from Tottenham Hotspur in 2023 at a cost of €9.5m, six years after his move from Ajax to Spurs for €42m.

What happened
Serie A side Como are reportedly making Davinson Sanchez their top transfer priority, according to Football Italia. The Colombian center-back, currently at Galatasaray, is valued at over €20 million. Como, backed by wealthy Indonesian owners, have been ambitious in the transfer market since earning promotion to Serie A. The move would represent a significant statement signing as Como look to establish themselves in Italy's top flight.
Chance analysis
Como's pursuit of Sanchez signals serious intent to invest in defensive quality as they adapt to Serie A. At over €20m, this would be a marquee signing for the newly promoted side. For Galatasaray, losing a key center-back mid-window would be a defensive blow requiring a replacement. Sanchez's experience in top leagues (Tottenham, Ajax) makes him a proven commodity. The rumor stage means nothing is confirmed, but the fee scale indicates Como's financial muscle.
Como's defense would be substantially reinforced by Sanchez's arrival, while Galatasaray would lose a starting center-back and need a replacement.
If completed, Sanchez would significantly strengthen Como's defense for Serie A survival, but the deal remains unconfirmed and should not yet affect match predictions.
