Real Madrid tries to block Nico Paz's transfer to Tottenham

Nico Paz is one of the new ‘pearls’ of Argentine football with the best projection in Europe. Last season, the Real Madrid youth player had a brilliant season in the Italian Serie A and rumors indicated his return to the ‘merengue’ club.

However, it is already a fact that the player will not leave the Italian Como 1907 this summer because the board of directors of ‘La Casa Blanca’ is satisfied with the player's growth in the 'Calcio'.

Even so, the latest market information speaks of several offers from European clubs, with Tottenham being the last to join the bid for the 20-year-old player. The ‘Spurs’ could offer up to 70 million euros for the Tenerife native, double his current market value (35 ‘kilos’).

Real Madrid maintains control over Nico Paz's future

In that sense, Como does not have total freedom to dispose of the player, since Real Madrid reserved a repurchase option for the next three seasons after closing its sale in 2024 for €6.3M.

In addition, the ‘Casa Blanca’ retains 50% of its sports rights, which means it maintains control over Paz's file. Any club that wants him must have the ‘Ok’ from Madrid.

The ‘10’ of Como has earned a starting place, gaining the trust of Cesc Fàbregas, after a great season in which in 36 games he managed to score 6 goals and give 9 assists.

This summer, the offensive midfielder started the ‘Calcio’ on the right foot against Lazio by scoring a goal and giving an assist, receiving a score of 8.7 by ‘Sofascore’. The native of Santa Cruz de Tenerife will be a key piece for the Spanish strategist's scheme, with the aim of leading Como to have a new season consolidating in the highest category of Italian football.

Consolidation in Italy and an uncertain future for Nico Paz

As things stand, the team that wants to sign Nico Paz will have a difficult task, since the player has a contract until June 2028 with Como and Real Madrid could recover him for only 10 million euros if the board of directors or the coaching staff so decides.

Emphasis must also be placed on the fact that the international with the Argentine National Team has a market value of 35 ‘kilos’, so with the projection he has and the present he enjoys, he could easily be worth between 60 and 70 M€, a figure that, in principle, Tottenham would be willing to pay now.

Real Madrid has protected its youth player correctly and closely follows the growth he is having in Italian and international football for a possible return in the future. The boy is aware of this and every day he strives more to attract the attention of the board of directors and convince them to return.

The truth is that the left-handed player is seeing minutes, demonstrating the quality he has and impressing locals and strangers in Europe. It only remains to appreciate the development of Nico's career and what twists his career may take in the medium and long term.
