Como interested in Igor Julio
- Published
Serie A's emerging power Como 1907 are weighing up a move for Brighton defender Igor Julio.
The 27-year-old is on the Italian club's shortlist to strengthen their backline but no official offer has been lodged.
But the move could prove attractive with Como well-funded by US investors and now managed by legendary midfielder Cesc Fabregas.
Sources say the Brazilian centre-back would need convincing to return to Italian football having joined Brighton from Fiorentina for £14.5m in 2023.
Yet, Igor has also struggled to establish himself on the south coast and made only 16 appearances last season under manager Fabian Hurzeler due to a mixture of injury and being left on the bench.
Igor started in the 6-0 win at Oxford United in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday evening and it remains to be seen whether Brighton would welcome any offers.
