Como eye ambitious swoop for Barcelona star

Como eye ambitious swoop for Barcelona star as the newly-promoted Serie A side prepares a bold and surprising raid on Camp Nou talent.

The Italian outfit, thriving under Cesc Fàbregas’ vision, sees this high-potential forward as their statement attacking reinforcement—especially should Nico Paz depart for Real Madrid—while Barcelona desperately seeks wage bill relief through a permanent sale.

This brewing transfer battle pits Como’s patient project against Premier League financial muscle, offering Deco a timely opportunity to close a problematic chapter while granting the player Serie A stability to rediscover his once-electric form.​

That forward is Ansu Fati, whose loan at AS Monaco is nearing its end, with the Ligue 1 side yet to commit to their buy option due to inconsistent performances, as reported by Fichajes.

Barcelona’s stance couldn’t be clearer: no return awaits at Camp Nou, with the club prioritising a permanent sale to slash salary costs and grant Fati the continuity his injury-ravaged career desperately requires.​

Como view Fati as their statement attacking reinforcement—particularly if Nico Paz departs for Real Madrid—believing Serie A’s reduced media intensity could unlock the La Masia prodigy who once terrorised defenders with pace and left-footed brilliance.

 Premier League clubs are also in competition, valuing his dribbling for their counter-attacking system, and are prepared to negotiate a fee that Barcelona would gladly accept.​

Fati’s injury-plagued path—from teenage sensation to loan wanderer—has stalled his elite trajectory, with Monaco’s struggles echoing Brighton’s disappointment.

Barcelona extended his deal to 2028 before dispatching him to France, but now seeks definitive closure through transfer proceeds that erase his wage burden.​

Cesc Fàbregas’s Como project carries romantic appeal: mid-table security, creative freedom, spotlight respite.

Premier League clubs are also visible and pace-friendly tactics, though physicality questions persist.​

Monaco’s final decision triggers the market—pass on the option, and suitors mobilise instantly. Barcelona demand swift resolution; Fati seeks a genuine belief.
