In recent years, Como has become an excellent stepping stone for Real Madrid academy prospects, with Nico Paz being the perfect case in point.
After joining the club in 2024, the Argentine playmaker has flourished under Cesc Fabregas and is currently one of Serie A’s most gifted young players. So much so, he has practically secured a return to Real Madrid in the coming summer.
But the list is only restricted to Paz, as Jacobo Ramon is finding similar success after joining Como in a permanent deal last summer.
Como eyeing two new academy talents
Now, according to AS, Como are eyeing a move for two more Real Madrid academy talents in the form of Daniel Yanez and Jesus Fortea.
The two La Fabrica talents have been specifically requested by coach Fabregas, who does have a lot of say in the way Como operate in the transfer market.

Yanez is a winger who has done well with the Real Madrid youth teams. He is known for his explosive nature in the final third.
The teenage star is excellent when it comes to taking on defenders and has notably assisted a goal in his second-ever game for Real Madrid last season.
Fortea, meanwhile, is a former Atletico Madrid academy graduate who has made a name for himself in the Real Madrid ranks.
A right-back by trade, Fortea is seen as a long-term replacement candidate for Dani Carvajal, who may end up leaving the club at the end of the season.
Real Madrid, therefore, definitely have a decision to make this summer, as both Yanez and Fortea are more than capable of breaking into the first team on their own.
