Como are interested in Real Betis wingers Jesus Rodriguez and Abde Ezzalzouli, while Charlie Cresswell is not on the club’s radar.

Como are moving quickly to strengthen Cesc Fabregas’ team for 2025-26. They have already confirmed the signing of Croatia international Martin Baturina and have targeted two wingers from Real Betis: Jesus Rodriguez and Abde Ezzalzouli.

Sources with direct knowledge of the matter tell me that Rodriguez is Como’s primary option, but negotiations with Real Betis are complicated as the La Liga side continues to push the price high.
Rodriguez’s teammate, Ezzalzouli, is another option for Como, but talks for the 23-year-old Morocco international are currently stalled.

Other sources have linked English centre-back Charlie Cresswell, a former Leeds United player now at Toulouse, with a move to the Stadio Sinigaglia, but sources tell me that the 22-year-old is not on the club’s radar.
