Moise Kean Joins Como as Contract Is Filed

The move gives Como a proven Serie A striker as Fiorentina registers a replacement.

Overview

  • Como announced the signing of Italy forward Moise Kean and filed his contract with the league, and he joined team training at the Mozzate centre on Tuesday.
  • Reports differ on the fee and structure: Como and Tutto Sport describe a loan with a €10m up-front payment, a €25m obligation to buy and up to €5m in bonuses, while Corriere della Sera and other outlets report a fixed fee of roughly €35–40m plus bonuses.
  • Kean issued a public farewell on his social channels apologising for a recent mistake, thanking Fiorentina and its supporters as he closed his two-year spell in Florence.
  • Como coach Cesc Fàbregas welcomed Kean as an experienced, ready striker expected to lead the attack and help the club compete in domestic and European matches.
  • Fiorentina moved quickly to replace Kean by registering Norberto 'Beto' Betuncal, and Kean’s arrival at Como shifts both clubs’ attacking plans given his strong scoring record at club and international level.
