Como eye ambitious deal for Juventus’s Cambiaso as more Italians required for Europe
Como eye ambitious deal for Juventus’s Cambiaso as more Italians required for Europe Wednesday’s reports claim that Como are eyeing a potential summer transfer for Juventus’s Andrea Cambiaso, as Cesc Fabregas’s side require more homegrown Italian talents to comply with UEFA’s squad list rules. Como have already confirmed that they will be competing in some form of European competition in 2026-27, guaranteed to finish no lower than sixth in Serie A this season, although it remains to be seen whether they will earn a spot in the Champions League, Europa League or Conference League next term. Ahead of their first ever campaign in Europe, Como will likely have to bring in a few more homegrown Italian players in order to comply with UEFA’s squad list rules.
UEFA rules state that teams are permitted to submit a squad of up to 25 players on their ‘A’ list, and that at least eight of those players must be locally trained i. e. homegrown.
Como, however, have hardly fielded any Italian players at all in 2025-26; their most featured homegrown talent being the 32-year-old Edoardo Goldaniga, who has played for just 104 minutes this season. Como President Mirwan Suwarso has recently admitted that the club are hoping to add more Italian talents to their ranks: “We are always looking for more Italians. We bought four in our first Serie A season,” he said in a recent interview .
“The problem is that they are expensive and we can’t pay them in instalments. We are developing four or five Italian players who we hope will be ready for the first team. I like many of them, Orsolini, Bastoni, Dimarco, but we can’t afford them.
Venturino is also strong, like Cambiaghi and Lazio’s Pellegrini. ” Could Como sign Cambiaso from Juventus? According to Wednesday’s reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport , Como are interested in a potential deal for Juventus’s Cambiaso, although this is not expected to be an easy deal to pull off.
