La Liga
The Como owned by Cesc Fàbregas has set its sights on closing the signing of Sergio Camello, striker of Rayo Vallecano, for the upcoming winter transfer market, with an eye on both Serie A and the UEFA Champions League.
As confirmed by Marca, the directive of the Italian club is preparing a formal offer of 10 million euros to negotiate with Rayo Vallecano, taking advantage of the fact that the player's contract ends in 2027 with no renewal in sight.

Sergio Camello's Goal-Scoring Performance and Cesc Fàbregas' Request
The 25-year-old forward, a product of Madrid's football, joined Rayo Vallecano in August 2023 for 5 million euros and has 14 caps with the Spanish U-21 national team. His season's start sees 7 goals in 7 games played in LaLiga, leading Cesc Fàbregas to prioritize his signing to bolster the team's attack in Serie A.
The leadership of the Italian club aims to add the striker to the group of players with a Spanish background in the team, which includes Nico Paz, Assane Diao, Jesús Rodríguez, Jacobo Ramón, and Luis Milla.
Rayo Vallecano's Economic Dilemma in January Window
The directive of Rayo Vallecano must decide whether to accept the proposed 10 million euros from Italy or risk the player leaving on a free transfer in June 2027. A potential sale would require the Vallecana technical department to find an immediate replacement in the market, as Alemao currently stands as the only direct alternative in the striker position.
Several clubs across Europe have started monitoring the player for his signing if an immediate agreement is not reached in the winter period.
Como's Strategy to Secure Camello's Signing
The Como leadership plans to formalize the economic proposal at the beginning of the year to avoid a bidding war with other continental suitors in the summer market. The injection of 10 million euros would allow the Spanish club to double the investment made in 2023.
The Italian executives are confident that the guarantees of playing time presented by the coaching staff will convince the player to accept the transfer in January. The Como representatives will hold negotiation meetings with the Rayo Vallecano presidency during November 2026.
If the Rayo Vallecano board approves the player's sale in January, Sergio Camello will join Como at the start of the 2027 transfer window.
