Indonesia National Team goalkeeper Emil Audero has been included in Como 1907's squad, so is the transfer move to Juventus only a rumor?

Indonesia National Team goalkeeper Emil Audero remains part of the Como 1907 squad for the 2026/2027 season. This confirmation was issued after the club published its official player squad numbers ahead of the Serie A opening match, amid circulating rumors linking Audero to Juventus.

Como 1907 announced the new season squad number lineup via the club's official Instagram account @comofootball on Friday, 21 August 2026.

"The official squad numbers for the 2026/27 season have been finalised," Como stated in the announcement.

The post also confirmed Como will kick off their 2026/27 Serie A campaign with an away fixture in Udine, the home ground of Udinese.

"A new chapter, new challenges, and another historic season to build together. The squad numbers are now set."

On the released list, Emil Audero has been assigned the number 12 jersey.

Remaining With Como Amid Juventus Transfer Rumors

Audero's status at Como had become the subject of speculation during this summer transfer window. The Indonesian-eligible goalkeeper was previously linked with a move to Juventus, one of Italy's elite football clubs.

However, as of Como's latest official announcement, Audero is still registered on the club's official squad for the 2026/2027 season.

This serves as a strong signal that the goalkeeper remains included in the club's plans for the upcoming Serie A campaign.

For Audero, this new season presents an opportunity to secure consistent playing minutes, after facing tough competition for the starting goalkeeper position during the previous season.

Como Open Season Against Udinese

Como will begin their 2026/2027 Serie A journey with an away match against Udinese on Saturday 22 August at 23.30 WIB.

The fixture in Udine will be Como's first test of the new season. Should he be selected to feature, Audero will have the chance to once again guard Como's goal in Italy's top tier football competition.

Serie A is not a new stage for Audero. He already holds extensive experience competing in the league with multiple Italian clubs.

Now, with the number 12 jersey and his confirmed status in the Como squad, Audero is set to start the 2026/2027 season with the club based at Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium.
