Como are interested in signing Cagliari forward Roberto Piccoli, reports from Italy claim, amid rumours linking the Italian striker to West Ham United and Benfica.

According to what has been reported by CalcioMercato , Como are the latest team to register an interest in the Cagliari forward, yet the Sardinian club want no less than €30 million for Piccoli’s signature – having only just made the striker’s move from Atalanta permanent for €12.5 million.

West Ham made a further request for information on Tuesday, as the club evaluate potential striker options. Benfica, meanwhile, are closing in on Union Saint-Gilloise’s Franjo Ivanovic and have put a move for Piccoli on the back-burner.

As well as Piccoli, Como wait on Milan and Galatasaray for Morata deal

Como have also been strongly linked with a move for Milan forward Alvaro Morata, currently on loan in Turkey with Galatasaray. Despite reaching an agreement with Milan and the player himself, Como are waiting for Galatasaray to relinquish their loan.

The Spaniard currently is contracted to the Super Lig club until Summer 2026 and the Turkish giants are waiting for the Rossoneri to make a suitable proposal to cancel the deal.
