Como 1907 is closing in on the signing of 19-year-old attacking midfielder Mattia Liberali from Serie B side Catanzaro, with the deal expected to land at around €6 million. That figure matches Liberali’s release clause, which effectively turns a complicated negotiation into a straightforward transaction, assuming the player agrees to terms.
The Liberali file
Born on April 6, 2007, Liberali is a product of AC Milan’s renowned youth academy. He came through the Rossoneri’s development pipeline before making the decision to leave permanently in August 2025, rejecting a contract extension in favor of regular first-team football at Catanzaro.
That gamble paid off. His 2025/26 Serie B campaign was impressive enough to attract interest from clubs well above Catanzaro’s weight class, including Sassuolo, Juventus, and even a late attempt by Milan to bring him back into the fold.
His market value on major scouting platforms currently sits somewhere between €7 million and €8.5 million. In English: Como is getting a discount by triggering the release clause rather than negotiating a fee that reflects his true valuation.
