Newly-promoted Como is set to strengthen their squad ahead of their return to Serie A by reportedly signing former Roma goalkeeper Pau Lopez on a loan deal with the option to buy from Olympique Marseille. The 29-year-old goalkeeper previously played for Roma from 2019 to 2021, before moving to Marseille on loan and then permanently for €12 million.
According to reports from Sky Sport Italia, Pau Lopez is expected to return to Italy this summer as Como looks to attract top players, aided by coach Cesc Fabregas. The move for Pau Lopez is expected to be a loan deal with an option to buy at the end of the season, with the total cost of the operation estimated to be around €5-6 million.
Como had also been linked to Emil Audero, another goalkeeper owned by Sampdoria who spent last season on loan at Inter. However, it’s not clear if this deal will go through or if Como will choose another player.
Pau Lopez has previously played for clubs like Espanyol, Real Betis, and Tottenham Hotspur. Additionally, Como recently hosted Raphael Varane and it is reported that he is considering their proposal as well. The club is looking to further strengthen their squad ahead of their return to Serie A.
It’s not clear yet if Pau Lopez will be able to play in the first game of Como’s return in Serie A or if he will need some time off after his transfer from France.
