Manchester United are set to receive a timely injection into their summer transfer budget as former defender Willy Kambwala prepares to join Italian side Como. The Red Devils will benefit financially from a valuable sell-on clause inserted into his contract when he departed Old Trafford for Villarreal, providing Michael Carrick with additional funds before the transfer window closes.
Como manager Cesc Fabregas insists his side are prepared to embrace "a new world" as the Italian club get set to make their historic debut in the UEFA Champions League. The Spaniard guided the ambitious outfit to a fourth-place finish in Serie A last term and remains adamant that his players will not abandon their attacking identity on the big stage.
Former Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah has opened up on his decision to swap Stamford Bridge for Serie A, revealing that Cesc Fabregas was the driving force behind his move to Como. The defender ended a 20-year association with Chelsea this summer to join the Italian side's burgeoning project over Serie A champions Inter.
Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola took plenty of positive lessons from his side's 2-0 friendly victory over Como 1907 at Anfield. First-half goals from Cody Gakpo and debutant Jeremy Jacquet ensured the Reds finished their pre-season schedule on a high ahead of the Premier League opener.
