Having recently secured their place in Serie A, Como is showing significant activity in the summer transfer market and has made another notable acquisition.

An agreement has been reached with Real Betis for attacking winger Jesus Rodriguez. The transfer is expected to cost €20 million, potentially rising by approximately €5 million through various performance-related bonuses and add-ons.

Rodriguez is anticipated to undergo his medical examination next week. Last season, he was a regular for Betis, participating in 44 competitive matches, where he contributed five goals and four assists.

Meanwhile, Como faces greater difficulty in persuading Milan defender Malick Thiaw to join their ranks.

Reports indicate the German international is currently uncertain about the move, particularly after receiving interest from Bundesliga clubs earlier in the summer transfer window.

Como`s coach, Cesc Fabregas, is reportedly planning to speak directly with Thiaw to alleviate any concerns and highlight the club`s project, especially following Como`s agreement on a deal worth €25 million plus bonuses with Milan for the defender.
