Italy international Moise Kean is reportedly on the verge of completing a transfer to Como, with Fiorentina having given permission for the striker to travel for his medical. This development follows an agreement between Como and Fiorentina on a substantial transfer fee, bringing an end to Como’s pursuit of the player throughout much of the summer transfer window.
Kean Set for Como Switch
Reports indicate that Como and Fiorentina have reached an agreement for Kean’s transfer, valued at a total of €40 million. This significant fee is structured to include €35 million in guaranteed payments, with an additional €5 million potentially added through performance-related bonuses. The imminent medical examination is the final step before Kean officially joins the Serie A club.
Fiorentina’s Replacement Strategy
Fiorentina’s decision to sanction Kean’s departure comes as the club prepares to secure a replacement for their attacking line-up. The Viola are reportedly set to sign Beto, the former Udinese striker, from Everton. Beto’s anticipated arrival is understood to have been a key factor in Fiorentina’s willingness to allow Kean to pursue the opportunity with Como, ensuring they maintain strength in their forward options.
Kean’s arrival at Como will see him join a club with significant ambitions, including their upcoming inaugural Champions League season, which is scheduled for 2026-27. He will link up with the squad, which includes figures like Cesc Fabregas, as Como looks towards competing at Europe’s elite level in the near future. The acquisition of a player of Kean’s calibre signals Como’s intent to build a competitive team for their historic European campaign.
