Nico Paz could make the leap to the Premier League | OneFootball

The transfer market for the English club Tottenham has been quite disappointing for its fans, who have seen Heung-Min Son leave, and how major targets like Eberechi Eze or Morgan Gibbs-White slipped away. All this, along with the injuries of Kulusevski and James Maddison, left the reigning Europa League champion without a key playmaker.

Faced with this need, and the push from Thomas Frank, their new coach, who usually plays with a creative player ahead of the natural midfielders, the English club has set its sights on an Argentine player who was also mentioned for several clubs in this market: Nicolás Paz.

At the beginning of June, there was talk that Nico Paz might return to Real Madrid, but he ultimately stayed to start a new season at Como 1907 in Serie A, under the guidance of Cesc Fábregas. However, The Independent reports that Tottenham will go after him in this last week of the transfer window.

These reports were joined by information from the respected Italian journalist, Gianluca Di Marzio, who claims that the club rejected an offer of 40 million, and they are asking for no less than 70 to let him go. It is worth noting that Real Madrid has a buy-back clause for the 20-year-old attacking midfielder.

Nico Paz fights for a spot in the 2026 World Cup

Unlike what usually happens in many negotiations, Nico Paz's stance will be key to resolving his future. And the player born in Tenerife will have an important decision to make with less than 300 days to the World Cup, where he has a chance to be with the reigning champion, Argentina.

Lionel Scaloni considers him as one of the names that could complete the squad, and he has already been called up several times to the national team. A move to the Premier League could well secure his place on the list, or, if he fails to adapt, delay his consideration.

In the last season in Serie A, Nico Paz completed 35 matches, with 6 goals and 8 assists, and was one of the key figures in the team that not only managed to stay in the division in their promotion year but also finished among the top 10 in the table in Italy.
