Carl Starfelt's Potential Move: Celta Vigo and Como in Negotiations

Swedish national team defender Carl Starfelt is on the verge of a club transfer this summer. According to Expressen's sources, Celta Vigo and Como in Serie A are negotiating a transfer, with the Italian club having already made an offer.

Expressen revealed back in February that Serie A club Como was interested in the Swedish national defender Carl Starfelt, and their recruitment attempt was rejected by Celta Vigo.

The La Liga club did not want to sell their key player mid-season, and Como's coach Cesc Fàbregas had to postpone the new recruitment attempt until this summer.

Now, a move to Italy is back on the agenda.

According to information from Expressen, Como has made a bid for Starfelt, and the Serie A club is currently in negotiations with Celta Vigo and his agent about a transfer.

Wealthy Owners

Italian media have mentioned that the deal could exceed 100 million kronor, but the exact price is not set, and the clubs are currently in full discussions.

In May 2024, Como was promoted to Serie A for the first time in 21 years, and last season Fàbregas's team finished in tenth place, exceeding all expectations.

This season, the club aims to challenge for European spots, backed by the Djarum Group, owned by the wealthy Indonesian family Michael Bambang Hartono and Robert Budi Hartono.
