Como have made an initial approach for Liam Delap as they search for a new striker, with the Chelsea forward emerging as one of their top targets.
The Serie A club are understood to have a strong relationship with Chelsea following the recent agreement for Trevoh Chalobah, which could help facilitate discussions over Delap.
Delap remains high on Como’s shortlist as they assess options to strengthen their attack, while the 23-year-old could now be available to leave Chelsea during the final two weeks of the transfer window.
Softfootball reported in July 2026 that Delap was determined to fight for his place at Chelsea despite increasing competition for attacking positions.
The young striker wanted an opportunity to impress Xabi Alonso and establish himself at Stamford Bridge, but his route to regular playing time has become increasingly difficult with competition for places intensifying.
Como’s approach now adds another layer to Delap’s situation, with Chelsea expected to assess the proposal and the striker’s position as the transfer window enters its final stages.
