Two exits at once
Como are losing experience in defence. Alberto Moreno has left the club as a free agent, and Sergi Roberto walks out the same door. Both Spaniards arrive on the market without a fee attached, a notable boost for any club chasing proven Serie A quality on a budget. Como built real momentum last season, and these two played their part. Still, squads evolve. Contracts expire. Now, the Italian club faces a rebuild in key areas, while Moreno and Sergi Roberto weigh up their next move entirely on their own terms.
Eyes back on Spain
Moreno, in particular, has made his preference known. The left back wants a return to La Liga. That ambition makes sense. He came through Sevilla’s academy and built his name in Spanish football long before European adventures took him elsewhere. A homecoming would suit both his career stage and his personal circumstances. Furthermore, his experience at Liverpool and Villarreal gives him a profile few free agents can match. Clubs across La Liga’s middle and upper tiers should take notice. Free, experienced, and motivated. That combination rarely lasts long on the market.
What comes next
Sergi Roberto’s situation remains less defined for now. The versatile former Barcelona man offers positional flexibility that many coaches value highly. Whether he follows Moreno back towards Spain or explores other leagues is still unclear. Either way, both players enter an open market with genuine leverage. No release clause. No transfer fee. Just straightforward negotiations based purely on wages and project. Como, meanwhile, must move quickly to fill the gaps left behind. Two reliable defenders gone. The summer rebuild starts now.
