Como's 2025-2026 transfer window: the Larians face a significant deficit.

Como is approaching the 2025/26 season with a high-impact transfer campaign. The club has invested heavily in strengthening its squad, bringing in several young talents and experienced players. On the other hand, sales have not been enough to offset expenses, and the club has closed the transfer window with a significant deficit.

Como's purchases, over 100 million spent

Numerous new faces have arrived to strengthen the team owned by the Hartono brothers . The most significant investment concerns Jesús Rodríguez , a Spanish attacking winger purchased from Betis for €22.5 million . Close behind are Nicolas Kühn, a German winger acquired from Celtic for €19 million, and Martin Baturina, a Croatian attacking midfielder acquired from Dinamo Zagreb for €18 million. Completing the list of major signings are Jayden Addai from AZ Alkmaar for €14 million and Máximo Perrone from Manchester City for €13 million . Minor signings, including those with obligations to buy, include Álex Valle (€6 million), Van der Brempt (€5 million), Jacobo Ramón (€2.5 million) and Luca Mazzitelli (€2 million). Some promising youngsters have also arrived, such as Fellipe Jack and goalkeeper Henrique Menke, as well as an experienced striker: Álvaro Morata, who arrived from Galatasaray after an experience of just six months at Milan .

In total, Como spent 104 million euros , a figure that places the Larian club among those who invested the most in this summer transfer window.

Como's sales, less than 14 million collected

On the outgoing front, the club hasn't generated revenue comparable to its investments. The most significant transfer was Gabriel Strefezza 's €8 million move to Olympiacos. This was followed by Alessandro Bellemo's €2 million transfer to Sampdoria and Nikolas Ioannou's €1.5 million transfer to Sampdoria. Revenues from Marco Curto (€750,000 to Empoli) and Simone Ghidotti (€400,000, also to Sampdoria) were lower. Also noteworthy is Alieu Fadera's loan to Sassuolo, valued at €1 million. In total, outgoing deals netted €13.65 million, a significantly lower figure than the over €100 million invested in new arrivals.

Final balance and overall budget

The difference between incoming and outgoing players results in a significantly negative overall balance for Como. The club closed the session with a loss of €90.35 million, the largest loss among Serie A teams at this stage of the transfer market.

Operations	Value
Revenue (sales)	€13.65 million
Expenses (purchases)	€104.00 million
Balance	-€90.35 million

Despite their significant deficit, Como has built a squad brimming with young talent and some experienced additions. The club's strategy appears to be focused on consolidating the team in Italy's top division and growing in the medium to long term by leveraging new signings, thanks in part to one of the world's richest owners. The 2025/26 Serie A season will therefore be an important test of the effectiveness of such an ambitious transfer campaign, which aims to bring Como to Europe for the first time.
