As Kaiki Bruno lands to complete his €15m move from Cruzeiro, there are multiple reports Como start talks with Chelsea for Trevoh Chalobah.
The club had already invested heavily for its move from Serie B to the top flight, and is now preparing for their first ever Champions League campaign.
The first new signing is Kaiki, who arrived on Italian soil this afternoon to undergo medical tests.
It is widely believed the Cruzeiro left-back will make the move on loan with an obligation to buy for a total of €14-15m, with €12m as the fixed fee portion of the deal.
Kaiki arrives, but Como keep spending
“I am happy to be here and be part of this Como project,” Kaiki told Sky Sport Italia and Sportitalia at Malpensa Airport in Milan.
“Cesc Fabregas is a star and I admire him a great deal. Working with him will be an immense pleasure.”

Como won’t stop there, because both BBC Sport reporter Nizaar Kinsella and Sportitalia maintain that they are in talks with Chelsea for Chalobah.
It is suggested that both player and club would be happy to make the deal go through, but the costs are going to be an issue, because Como are now forced to deal with UEFA’s Financial Fair Play rules.
The central defender turns 26 next month and has been linked to various Serie A teams over the last few years, but they all eventually struggle with the price tag.
