Como have officially sent Alvaro Morata to Leganes, while Ignace van der Brempt is ready for Sassuolo at €6.5m, but Milan midfielder Samuele Ricci arrives for his medical.
The Lariani are very active in the final days of the transfer window, especially after discovering their opponents in the Champions League draw.
They need to whittle down the side, so striker Morata has officially joined Spanish team Leganes on loan with an option to buy at the end of the season.
Multiple sources including Sky Sport Italia and Sportitalia also confirm a deal has been struck to hand Van der Brempt to Sassuolo.
This will be a loan with obligation to buy at the end of the season for a total package worth €6.5m.
Sassuolo had also been chasing Rafik Belghali of Hellas Verona, but he now seems to be leaning towards Torino instead.
Como have incoming too, as today Milan midfielder Ricci arrived to undergo his medical tests.
That is set to be a loan for €1.5m with option to make it permanent at the end of the season for another €22m plus performance-related bonuses.
Ricci had been a big investment for Milan when leaving Torino last summer for €23m plus bonus, but he made only 34 appearances for the club, scoring one goal.
