Nico Paz: Real Madrid condition and Fabregas’ role in Como transfer revealed | OneFootball

Cesc Fabregas played a crucial role in convincing Nico Paz to join Como this summer, but he had to accept a Real Madrid transfer condition as the Merengues wanted to keep control of the Argentinean talent.

Former Real Madrid starlet Nico Paz has had a great start to the season at Como under Fabregas.

Not only has he immediately become a regular starter. Paz has provided three assists in his opening six Serie A appearances with the newly promoted side, who had won consecutive matches against Atalanta and Hellas Verona before losing to Napoli this past weekend.

Nico Paz: Real Madrid condition and Fabregas’ role in Como transfer revealed

Nico Paz joined Como on a permanent transfer from Real Madrid last summer, signing a four-year contract, but the Merengues have a buy-back clause.

Football Italia transfer expert Matteo Moretto wrote in his latest DailyBriefing column for Caught Offside that Madrid didn’t want to lose control of the player, and this was an unnegotiable condition with clubs interested in the 20-year-old last summer.

Girona, Fiorentina, Stuttgart, and Marseille were among those, but the possibility of working under Cesc Fabregas played a key role in Nico Paz’s decision to join Como.

Real Madrid representatives keep following Paz week in and week out, and the 20-year-old recently earned his first senior Argentina call-up.
