Como's Serie A revolution continues, with manager Cesc Fabregas leading a somewhat Spain-based recruitment effort. After the signings of Nico Paz, Sergi Roberto, Pepe Reina and Alberto Moreno, with former Liga players Maximo Perrone and Raphael Varane also arriving. The latest on his radar is The Palms central defender Mica Marble.
The 23-year-old arrived in La Liga last season and was excellent in his debut campaign, for what was one of Spain's best defenses until the last 10 games of the season. Marmol has a release clause of 10 million euros, and Como are considering a move for him in the final days of the transfer market. His loss would be a major blow to Las Palmas and Luis Carrion if it happens. Ace for ReliefBarcelona has a 50% sell-on clause, and could earn 5 million euros from the deal.
Although Liverpool have shown interest in Federico Chiesa, the 26-year-old winger is determined to further his career at Barca and is willing to be patient and wait for the club to sort out their finances this week. @jaumemarcet

Marmol made the switch from Andorra last summer, and has not looked back in a system that has allowed him to defend high up the pitch and use his quality on the ball. If Como can do similar, then Marmol could be a superior addition for them. The City Football Group at one point considered a move for him earlier in the year, with Girona his likely destination.
