Sassuolo are not just in talks with Como for Alieu Fadera, but also trying to get a deal done for midfielder Yannik Engelhardt.
Nobody spent more in Serie A this summer than Como, which means they now have a surplus of players and need to clear out some of their cupboards.
This presents valuable opportunities for other teams, above all newly promoted Sassuolo, who won the Serie B title last term.

There are a few clubs outside of Italy who are also interested in the German, but Sassuolo will try to get in there first.
Engelhardt made 26 Serie A appearances for Como, contributing one goal and one assist.
