Como: Real Madrid eye Nico Paz, Fabregas keen to keep him | OneFootball

Fabregas’s Como is experiencing an exhilarating season, and much of the credit goes to Nico Paz, the true beacon of the team. The Argentine attacking midfielder, born in 2004, has already scored 5 goals and provided 4 assists, leading the midfield and skillfully linking up with teammates and forwards.

Como, Nico Paz on Real Madrid’s radar for January: Fabregas ready to secure the Argentine gem

The young talent continues to shine, even in the recent away victory against Torino, confirming his importance for the Lariani, who are now firmly in the Europa League zone.

Real Madrid is watching closely

Behind Paz’s talent is also Real Madrid, the club that nurtured him and holds his rights. The Spanish club has a buy-back clause: generally valid in July, it allows the Blancos to bring the young Argentine back for €9 million in 2026 and €10 million in 2027. However, according to the latest rumors, Real’s interest is already very strong, with the intention of bringing the player back as early as the January transfer window.

Xabi Alonso, coach of Madrid’s youth team, would like to include Paz in the squad immediately, potentially forming an Argentine duo in midfield with Franco Mastantuono. For Florentino Pérez, an early return would be an extraordinary deal, considering Paz’s market value is estimated at around €60 million, well above the clause amount.

Como does not want to let him go in January

However, Paz’s immediate future still seems tied to Como. The Lombard side has no intention of giving up such a key player for their Serie A campaign. The playmaker’s influence on the team’s attacking play and overall stability makes an early transfer difficult.

Moreover, reliable sources like Fabrizio Romano confirm that the clause in favor of Real Madrid may only be valid during the summer transfer windows, making a January move for just €10 million practically impossible.
