Como’s transfer focus has reportedly shifted towards player sales, with several members of the squad potentially leaving before the end of the window. The club wants to create space and raise funds before making another major investment in attack.

Álvaro Morata – Como would reportedly be open to letting him leave if a suitable destination is found. His departure would also free up a significant salary, although he has already rejected a move to Deportivo La Coruña.

Alberto Dossena, Luca Mazzitelli & Ignace Van der Brempt – All three are reportedly attracting interest from Cagliari. Van der Brempt has become more expendable following Yan Couto’s arrival and has already rejected Sassuolo.

Emil Audero, Matthias Braunöder, Alieu Fadera & Alessandro Gabrielloni – Their situations also need to be resolved, although not everyone on the list will necessarily leave. Gabrielloni is considered a different case because of his history with the club and usefulness for squad registration.

Iván Azón – His future is also worth watching. The departure of either Azón or Morata could open the door for Como to sign another striker.

Assane Diao, meanwhile, is NOT considered for sale despite reported interest from Atalanta. Como would only consider an exceptional offer.

The strategy seems clear: sell first, create space and funds, then make the final big move for a new No. 9.

The FIVB has officially confirmed that Russia’s men’s and women’s national teams will return to the Volleyball Nations League in 2027.
To avoid displacing teams that earned qualification through sporting merit, VNL 2027 will be expanded from 18 to 19 teams (for this edition only). This means:
🇸🇮 Slovenia Women keep their place.
🇫🇮 Finland Men keep their place.
🇷🇺 Russia Men and Women are added as the highest-ranked teams not already qualified.
The FIVB says it’s now working on a revised competition format to accommodate the extra teams.
The federation also confirmed:
A dedicated anti-doping testing programme, managed by the International Testing Agency (ITA), will be in place for Russian athletes and officials.
The Russian Volleyball Federation has voluntarily withdrawn from the 2027 Men’s World Cup.
Discussions are ongoing regarding the participation of the Russian women’s team in the 2027 Women’s World Cup.
Further details on the VNL format and World Cup participation will be announced in the coming months.

TLDR: the earlier claims that Como would “take away your season ticket” after missing a few games were inaccurate. The proposed policy affects renewal rights for next season, not access to matches during the current one.

After a lot of misleading headlines, Como president Mirwan Suwarso has clarified the club’s proposed season ticket rules.

The key point is that fans will NOT lose their season ticket during the season if they don’t attend the minimum number of matches. The only potential consequence is losing the right to renew the same season ticket for the following season.

The same applies if a season ticket is found to be regularly used by away fans. Rather than cancelling the ticket immediately, Como could refuse the holder’s renewal priority for next season.
The club says the goal is to:
Keep season tickets in the hands of genuine Como supporters.

Reduce ticket touting and repeated transfers to away fans.
Maximise attendance at the small-capacity Stadio Sinigaglia.

The rule about not wearing away team colours applies specifically to season ticket holders, not all spectators, and children are exempt.
There are still important details to be announced, including:
The minimum attendance requirement.
How official ticket transfers will work.
Whether a Ticket Exchange system will allow fans who can’t attend to release their seat without being penalised.
