Today's match between Como and Sassuolo promises to be more than just a Serie A match: it will be a real "market on the pitch". The two clubs, despite having different sporting objectives, have assembled teams full of players who currently occupy key positions in the notebooks of major European clubs.
The undisputed protagonist is Nico Paz, the young Argentine midfielder who has already attracted the attention of Real Madrid. Como has decided to keep him in the team for the current season, but the Spaniards retain the possibility of recalling him for a price that could exceed 80 million euros. The Como club has built its squad around Paz, also including other talents who have already received important offers. In the summer, president Mirwan Suwarso said he had rejected an offer of 60 million for Assane Diao and another of 55 million for Martin Baturina, thus demonstrating how much the club's value has increased.
Other notable Como players include Maximo Perrone and Lucas Da Cunha. Perrone, in particular, has been the subject of interest from Inter, Juventus and Napoli in recent months. The Como club has decided to protect the Argentine midfielder, working on his long-term future. Baturina, whose valuation already exceeds 50 million euros, is also under observation, while Diao, currently injured, remains one of the most important assets of the squad.
Sassuolo, on the other hand, brings onto the field players who already appear in the notebooks of the big teams. Darryl Bakola, born in 2007, is followed by several Italian clubs and the neroverdi have no intention of letting him go in January. Vasilije Adzic, on loan from Juventus, is still under the control of the Turin club, which maintains the possibility of bringing him back home and continues to monitor his growth. Finally, Armand Laurienté, linked to Sassuolo until 2029, is another name that has attracted the attention of the market.
In summary, while Paz, Perrone and other Como talents are already the subject of offers tens of millions, Bakola, Adzic and Laurienté represent the key figures of Sassuolo. It's not a given that no one will change teams in January, but today's match will certainly be a point of reference for the managers who will be taking notes on potential future negotiations.
