Nico Paz's Italian present

Nico Paz, a 21-year-old Argentine midfielder, is once again in Real Madrid's sights. After he left for Como in 2024, the Blancos are considering the possibility of re-signing him this summer for over ten million dollars. However, the player remains focused on Italy.

Memories of the Bernabéu and World Cup dreams

Speaking to Sport Mediaset, Paz was clear about his immediate future: “I don't want to think about those things. I'm 100% focused here, on Como. I want to give my all on the field. Then, if an opportunity arises in the future, we'll see.” The young international also recalled with emotion his goal against Napoli at the Bernabéu during the Champions League: “It was pure happiness… scoring in the Champions League against a team like Napoli, in a stadium like the Bernabéu, was an incredible feeling.”

Paz's name was also linked to Inter, although he himself ruled out any contact: “No, there has been nothing.” Instead, he highlighted his development since joining Como: “I think I've matured in every aspect. Last season was my first in Serie A, and now I feel much more prepared to play at this level.”

The influence of Fàbregas on his growth

The Argentine valued his team's campaign and the influence of his coach, Cesc Fàbregas: "We are having a good season... Fàbregas was the most important factor. He has a lot of faith in us, works hard, and lets me play the way I want."

Finally, Paz recalled his debut with the Argentine national team in October 2024 against Bolivia, where he assisted Messi: "It was a dream... Leo told me to work hard and be humble. With naturalness, he confessed his great goal: "I have dreamed of the World Cup since I was little. I work every day to get there.
