Real Madrid watching closely as Tottenham eye move for ex-Blancos youngster | OneFootball

The brass at La Liga giants Real Madrid have been placed on high alert by the latest endeavours of Premier League outfit Tottenham Hotspur on the transfer front.

That’s according to The Athletic, who have on Thursday provided an insight into the situation.

Spurs, it is understood, have made known their keen interest in bringing in former Real starlet Nico Paz this summer.

Midfielder Paz for his part departed Spain’s capital last summer, to link up with Serie A outfit Como.

And the Argentine went on to enjoy a stellar debut campaign in Italy, to the tune of six goals and nine assists across 35 league appearances.

With such excellence, though, comes inevitable outside interest…

As revealed by The Athletic:

‘Tottenham Hotspur are interested in Como attacking midfielder Nico Paz. Spurs are considering a move for the 20-year-old as they try to add more creativity to their squad before the start of the season.’

Real Madrid, in turn, have been left with little choice but to begin monitoring the situation.

Los Merengues have already turned down the chance to bring Paz back this summer, opting against making use of their buyback clause.

Should Tottenham table a big-money offer for the youngster, though, the Santiago Bernabéu board will have the chance to match as much.

Como, meanwhile, for their part have no intention of sanctioning Paz’s sale.
