Como 1907 has tabled a €20M offer for Colombian centre-back Davinson Sánchez, a move that underscores just how far the once-obscure Italian club has come since being purchased for roughly €800K in 2019. The bid, reportedly structured as €18M in base fees plus €2M in performance-related add-ons, is the latest signal that Como’s billionaire owners are serious about competing at the top of Italian football.
Galatasaray, for its part, is not exactly rushing to the negotiating table with open arms. The Turkish giants are reportedly holding out for somewhere between €25M and €35M, a significant gap that suggests these talks could drag on.
The deal on the table
Sánchez joined Galatasaray from Tottenham Hotspur in September 2023 for €9.5M, having made over 200 appearances for Tottenham prior to that move. The defender’s contract runs until June 2029, which gives Galatasaray considerable leverage.
What works in Como’s favor is that Sánchez himself is reportedly open to the move. The lure of playing under coach Cesc Fàbregas, the former Barcelona and Arsenal midfielder turned manager, seems to be a meaningful draw. The prospect of Champions League football adds another layer of appeal for the Colombian international.
