This time, Messi has given a key recommendation to president Joan Laporta. He should sign a young star doing brilliantly in international soccer.
A Shining Talent in Argentina
Nico Paz is a player who has begun to make a name for himself on a global level. Despite being only 20 years old, his skill and vision of the game have been evident in every match he has played.
Born in Spain but with Argentine roots, he has played in the youth ranks of Real Madrid and currently plays for Como in Italy. Although his career is relatively short, the footballer has already shown that he has a great future ahead of him.
Debut in the Argentinian National Team
One of the greatest displays of his quality came when he made his debut with the Argentinian national team. Although he only played 17 minutes, Nico Paz managed to leave his mark significantly.
In that short time, he assisted Messi, showing his technique and maturity in making quick decisions. That debut was enough for Messi to recognize the enormous potential of the young player and recommend him to Barça.
Messi's Recommendation to Laporta
Although he will not return to Barça, Leo Messi has shown his willingness to help the club that saw him grow up. In this sense, his recommendation to Joan Laporta about Nico Paz is a sign of his support for the future of Barcelona.
The Argentinian star is confident that the young Argentine has what it takes to shine at the club. Nico Paz could certainly contribute to the rebirth of the institution. According to Messi, Nico Paz has "impressive quality" and would be an ideal transfer to strengthen the team in the coming years.
Laporta's Interest and Nico Paz's Future
As president of FC Barcelona, Joan Laporta has shown interest in keeping a close eye on Nico Paz. Even though the player is still young, Barça needs to rejuvenate its squad and find new stars who can lead the team in the future. The fact that Messi has recommended him makes his name gain strength in the offices of Camp Nou.
Even if the transfer does not materialize immediately, Barcelona will be keeping an eye on Nico Paz's progress. The young Argentine has talent and potential. Barça will not want to miss the opportunity to sign him when the time comes.
