Premier League
Nico Paz has surprised the transfer market by rejecting Tottenham's offer and confirming his decision to continue at Como 1907 for one more season.
The 20-year-old footballer believes that his sports development involves continuing to accumulate minutes in Italy before making the definitive leap to Real Madrid, where he hopes to return with more experience and credentials.
Nico Paz's Decision
According to journalist Ramón Álvarez de Mon, Nico Paz thinks that establishing himself in Serie A is best for his development. His desire is to arrive at the Bernabéu after playing in the World Cup with Argentina and with a status that allows him to compete for a place in Carlo Ancelotti's starting eleven.
The Real Madrid academy player had a brilliant season in Italy with six goals, eight assists, and standout performances that positioned him as one of the great revelations of the championship. His level prompted teams like Tottenham Hotspur to table a millionaire offer, but both the player and Real Madrid chose to halt his departure.

Tottenham's Interest
The London club, in search of a new number 10, presented an offer close to 70 million euros, including variables. However, Paz himself dismissed the move, considering that his immediate future should be at Como.
The president of the Italian club, Mirwan Suwarso, explained that no direct negotiations have been formalized because any operation would involve the participation of Real Madrid, which holds 50% of his rights and a 10 million euro buy-back clause for 2026.
Real Madrid's Plan
In Chamartín, they closely monitor the Tenerife-born player's progress. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Madrid club informed Como that they will match any offer that comes in for him. Additionally, they see his growth under the guidance of Cesc Fàbregas as a perfect opportunity for his development before returning to Santiago Bernabéu.
The arrival this summer of young Franco Mastantuono has also influenced Madrid's decision to postpone Paz's return, aiming to avoid overcrowding the squad in the creation zone.
Nico Paz's numbers support his choice: 37 games played, 7 goals, and 10 assists in just over 2800 minutes. Furthermore, at the start of the 2025/26 season, he already shone with a stunning free-kick goal and an assist in Como's victory against Lazio.
At 20 years old, the left-footed attacking midfielder has the full confidence of his current club, the backing of Real Madrid, and the ongoing interest of major European teams. Everything indicates that the Argentine is laying the groundwork for a future return to the Bernabéu with a much more prominent role.
