Eduard Spertsyan and Fabregas had a video call to discuss Como, which was contingent on Nico Paz leaving the club. According to Timur Gurtskaya, this was not a concrete negotiation, salary was not discussed, and it remained only a conversation. The conversation did not progress after Nico Paz stayed at Como.

According to reports, Como never negotiated the transfer of Eduard Spertsyan. The media had previously reported Como's interest in the player.

Como is interested in Eduard Spertsyan, a 25-year-old Armenian attacking midfielder from the Russian club Krasnodar. Spertsyan is being considered as a potential replacement for Nico Paz. It is reported that the club is still hoping to convince Real Madrid to allow Paz to stay for another season. Spertsyan joined Krasnodar in July 2021 and his contract is valid until June 2029. He was previously the subject of unsuccessful negotiations with Lazio. During the 2025/2026 Premier Liga season, he made 30 appearances, scoring 13 goals and providing 17 assists. For Armenia, he has 40 caps and 11 goals. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value to be €25.00m. Other clubs, such as Al Ahli and Southampton, have also recently been linked with him. Recent reports from June 2026 state that Al-Ahli is prepared to offer Krasnodar a minimum of €25 million. In August 2025, it was reported that Southampton offered €14 million plus bonuses.
