Como 1907 have secured the signing of promising young attacker Mattia Liberali on a permanent deal until 2031, the club confirmed on Friday. The move sees the 16-year-old join the Serie A side, bolstering their squad ahead of a season which will include Champions League football.
Liberali, a trequartista – an attacking midfielder playing in the hole behind the strikers – arrives with a growing reputation as one of Italy’s most exciting young talents. The club highlighted the signing as a demonstration of their commitment to investing in players with both quality and future potential. Como have been actively reshaping their squad since promotion, and the addition of an Italian prospect addresses a noted lack of domestic representation within the first team.
The official club statement expressed delight at reaching an agreement for Liberali’s transfer, emphasizing the length of the contract as a sign of their faith in his abilities. Liberali himself expressed his excitement about joining Como, stating his desire to grow and improve within the club’s environment. He also noted the alignment between his own playing style and the tactical philosophy of manager Cesc Fabregas.
“It’s a great emotion to start my journey at Como,” Liberali said following the signing. “I really want to grow and improve, and I found many common points with the club in this regard. I also spoke with the coach and I think the playing philosophy is perfect for me. I can’t wait to take the field at Sinigaglia and meet the fans.”
Como earned promotion to Serie A last season and have quickly established themselves as a team to watch with ambitious plans. The addition of Liberali suggests the club intends to build for sustained success, blending experienced players with emerging talents. The signing provides Fabregas with another creative option in midfield as Como prepare for the challenges of competing in both domestic and European competitions.
