Carlo Alberto Ludi, Como's director of sport, stated that Como wanted Vergara in July and the previous year. Ludi said Como approached Vergara in the last two seasons and wanted to acquire him permanently. Giovanni Manna told Como that he wanted Vergara to develop at Napoli.

According to information gathered by TMW, Como has been making insistent moves in recent days for Antonio Vergara, a 22-year-old Italian midfielder whom Napoli is prepared to loan out. Other clubs have also shown interest in the player; Torino is a notable possibility, Lecce has requested information, and contacts have occurred with Parma and Cremonese. The player's agent recently commented that gaining consistent playing time on loan is the best path for a young player's development. Como's coach, Cesc Fabregas, appreciates Vergara, and the club's manager did not rule out a new midfield arrival during a recent press conference. The main obstacle to a deal is the transfer formula, as Napoli wants a straightforward loan, while Como would prefer to include an option or an obligation to buy. However, this may not be an insurmountable problem, since Fabregas himself was recently open to the possibility of a temporary signing this January. Vergara has made 2 appearances for Napoli in the current 2025/2026 Serie A season. Transfermarkt estimates his market value to be €2.50m.
