Como, Nico Paz keeps dazzling, his future already mapped out | OneFootball

Como’s excellent start to the season continues, after a big-name transfer window full of eye-catching moves with an eye to the future. Fabregas’ team keeps troubling the Serie A giants, thanks to Nico Paz, who has confirmed himself as one of the best players in the league and among the most interesting young talents in world football. His departure this summer, destination Madrid, now seems to be just a formality, with Xabi Alonso ready to welcome the Argentine back.

Nico Paz decisive against Juventus: he has already contributed to 8 out of Como’s 9 total goals

Como is one of the most exciting stories in Serie A. This is also thanks to one of, if not the richest club in Italy, which has assembled a squad that smells of Europe. Many important signings and, above all, a lot of money spent, including Jesus Rodriguez, Kuhn, Morata, Addai, and Ramon. But the architects of Como’s success are essentially two: Cesc Fabregas and Nico Paz. The Spanish coach, who was strongly pursued by Inter in the summer but ultimately decided to stay, at least for another season, at the helm of the Larians, is definitely a strength of the club thanks to his experience and young age, managing to get the best out of each player. Among them is the other key figure of the team, Nico Paz.

The club’s new number 10 arrived last season in a very special deal with Real Madrid, which was then replicated in August with Jacobo Ramon. His talent has never gone unnoticed, but if he exploded last year, now he has become a certainty. And also a guarantee. In fact, in the 9 goals scored so far by his team, he has had a hand in 8 of them. Four goals and four assists make him the player with the most goal involvements in Serie A. Just today, in the win against Juventus, he scored a goal and provided an assist for Kempf’s goal, earning him the MVP award for the match. And his value keeps skyrocketing. Already in the summer, Como turned down advances from Inter, as well as a massive offer from Tottenham, with the aim of keeping hold of the Argentine star for as long as possible.

However, his fate seems already sealed. As mentioned, it is likely, if not almost certain, that he will return to his parent club, Real Madrid. Although he is owned by Como, the Blancos have a very low buy-back option, which increases every year. In fact, even though the Lombard club values his transfer at over 70 million, he can return to Spain in the summer for just 90 million. He would join Xabi Alonso’s squad, already full of young stars like Mastantuonto, Guler, Endrick, Vinicius, and Rodrygo.
