Como is ready to be a protagonist in the market ahead of the 2024/25 Serie A season. Sporting director Ludi seems to be focusing on experienced players who know Serie A well. M'Baye Niang is one of the players mentioned. Niang did not reach the required number of appearances along with the safety to trigger an automatic renewal until 2025, and the chances of him staying are practically zero. The striker posted on Instagram, which seems to confirm his departure: 'Thank you azzurri, thank you Empoli. We did something crazy, I will never forget you.'

M'Baye Niang, who saved Empoli with his 6 goals in 14 appearances, has already said his goodbyes at Empoli and is ready for a new adventure which could be with Como. Cesc Fabregas is trying to get Niang along with Belotti to give the newly promoted team the experience and quality it needs.
