Como reportedly close to signing Depay as they aim to outmanoeuvre Milan with major transfer move
Como is aiming for a bold move with Depay in this transfer window at no cost.
They need to beat the competition from Milan.
The unexpected contender is eyeing up the opportunity.
Milan’s transfer market might consider snapping up Depay as a free agent, but competition is heating up from another Italian rival.
It’s not a big club, but rather a newly promoted side.
According to Mundo Deportivo on Wednesday, “Como is seriously considering signing Depay for free,” a source close to the negotiations revealed.
The move has surprised many, given Milan’s standing in the Serie A and their ambitions for the upcoming season.
However, Como’s interest in the Dutch forward highlights their intent to make a significant impact in their return to the top flight.
An insider at Milan shared their doubts about the deal: “We know Depay’s quality, but our focus might shift depending on other market opportunities,” the source told Mundo Deportivo.
The battle for Depay’s signature is set to be an intriguing subplot in this transfer window, with Como’s ambition contrasting with the established interests of Milan.
This development underscores the unpredictable nature of football transfers and the determination of smaller clubs to compete at the highest level.
Both clubs now await Depay’s decision, which could shift the balance for both squads ahead of the new season.
