Como sign Willy Kambwala from Villarreal

Como have announced the signing of Congolese-French defender Willy Kambwala from Villarreal to strengthen their backline for the new season.

Willy Kambwala has joined Como on loan with an option to buy for €10 million, in a deal that gives the Italian club the possibility to retain the player permanently after the loan period.

The 22-year-old defender has previous experience in the Premier League with Manchester United, before moving to Villarreal in the summer of 2024, where he played 23 matches with the Spanish team.

Willy Kambwala hopes to regain consistency and participate regularly with Como under Cesc Fàbregas after his appearances with Villarreal last season were affected by injury.
