Maximo Perrone to Stay with Como as Transfer Talks Progress

Maximo Perrone will play for Como in the 2025/26 Serie A season under manager Cesc Fabregas. The club has secured his future for another year and is negotiating a permanent transfer with Manchester City.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Como have extended Maximo Perrone‘s loan for another year after a successful 2024/25 campaign. The 22-year-old Argentine midfielder, on loan from Manchester City, impressed with two assists in 22 league matches. Como want to sign Perrone permanently and have offered €12 million, but Manchester City want €30 million. Talks are ongoing, but Perrone will stay with Fabregas next season.

HOW PERRONE AND COMO PERFORMED THIS SEASON

Perrone’s growth has been a positive for Como, who retained Serie A status after a tough campaign. The team finished safely above the relegation zone, building a foundation for future progress. Working with Fabregas, Perrone improved as a holding midfielder and became an important part of the team’s structure. Meanwhile, Manchester City focused on strengthening their own midfield options, making a return for Perrone to Etihad unlikely.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR COMO AND PERRONE?

Como will build on this season’s stability as they prepare for the 2025/26 Serie A campaign with Perrone in their midfield. The team aims to push higher up the table under Fabregas after finishing in 10th place in their first season in the Serie A, hoping further improvement from Perrone can drive progress. With negotiations for a permanent deal continuing, Como’s next moves in the market could hinge on whether Manchester City lower their €30 million demand. The club’s first fixture of the new season will be closely watched by fans eager to see how far this partnership can go.
