Cesc Fabregas, the current manager of Como, is keen to sign his former Chelsea teammate Nemanja Matic. Matic, who is currently playing for Olympique Lyon, is being targeted due to Lyon's financial troubles which may force them to sell players. The club has been provisionally relegated to Ligue 2 unless they can stabilize financially, which increases the likelihood of Matic's transfer. Fabregas sees Matic as a valuable addition to strengthen Como's midfield.

Sky Sport reported that Como, recently promoted to Serie A, is aspiring to make a significant signing, with Nemanja Matic being considered as a potential target. The Serbian midfielder, currently playing for Lyon, is familiar with Italian football due to his previous stint at Roma. It was mentioned that Fabregas, who greatly admires Matic and was once his teammate at Chelsea where they secured the Premier League title twice, might have an influence on the transfer. Matic has participated in 13 Ligue 1 matches and 4 Europa League games this season. His potential arrival at Como is seen as a way to bring experience and reliability to the team. Matic is reportedly prepared to seriously consider the move, provided the economic conditions are favorable.
