Lorenzo Pirola is mentioned as a possible replacement for Diego Carlos. Carlalberto Ludi, sporting director of Como, stated that Pirola is certainly a good player and they have known him for a long time. Ludi added that at the moment, however, names are relative and guaranteed that there is no negotiation underway.

Lorenzo Pirola is attracting the interest of Italian clubs due to his performances with Olympiacos. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Como is targeting Pirola as the club seeks to strengthen its squad with Italian players ahead of its first-ever League Phase in the Champions League. Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Pirola has a contract with Olympiacos until June 30, 2030, and that bringing him to Como would require at least ten million, an amount the publication states is considered low and different from what Olympiacos would demand to negotiate his sale.

Como needs to acquire Italian players who have developed in the country's youth systems to comply with Champions League regulations. The club is considering bringing 24-year-old Italian defender Lorenzo Pirola back to Italy from Olympiacos, which he joined in July 2024. It is a theoretical plan that Pirola would replace Diego Carlos. Pirola has 26 caps for Italy's U21 team and a contract with the Greek club until June 2028. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €9.00m. Several other Serie A clubs, including Roma, Milan, and Juventus, have also been associated with the defender.
