Como want Getafe midfielder Luis Milla as Cesc Fàbregas builds a squad for a historic Champions League debut, with the experienced Spanish playmaker's second-highest assist return in LaLiga this season raising his profile.
Milla, 31, recorded nine assists in 28 LaLiga appearances for Getafe in 2025-26 — the second-highest tally in the division — and has been among the most consistent central midfielders in the Spanish top flight for several seasons. Como have identified him as an ideal fit for the deeper playmaking role as Fàbregas prepares his squad for European competition at the highest level.
This is not Como's first approach. In February, the Italian club submitted a formal offer of €7 million for Milla, which Getafe president Ángel Torres rejected as insufficient.
According to Fichajes, Getafe's stance has softened since then — with Spanish media reporting the club is now open to a sale in the region of €4 million or below given the player's contract status and the club's need to balance the books.
Milla joined Getafe from Granada for €5 million in July 2022 and has a contract running until June 2027. His release clause is set at €20 million, a figure no club has come close to activating.
At 31, he enters the final phase of a career that has been built almost entirely at the unfashionable end of Spanish football — Tenerife, Granada, Getafe — but one that has produced consistent LaLiga quality across more than 250 appearances.
He began his career in the youth system of Atletico Madrid. The path from the Metropolitano's academy to a Champions League debut with a club in the Italian lakes represents a trajectory nobody could have predicted.
Getafe have themselves qualified for the UEFA Conference League next season — their fourth European campaign in the club's history — which complicates any sale. Torres would prefer to keep a player who has been central to that achievement. But the financial reality of a club operating without Champions League revenues means offers above a certain level are difficult to decline.
For Como, Milla represents something Fàbregas has consistently sought in building his squad: experience embedded alongside youth. The Nico Paz model — develop exciting young talent, surround it with players who have seen every situation the game can produce — has taken the club from Serie B to the Champions League in three seasons.
Milla has seen plenty. Come September, he could be seeing it under the floodlights of European football's biggest stage.
