Fabrizio Romano announces it. Real Madrid will pay €8 million to Como and will bring Nico Paz back. Xabi Alonso has wanted it this way.
The return of the prodigal son to Bernabéu has collateral consequences. Meanwhile, they affect FC Barcelona and the composition of their squad.
In fact, Cesc Fàbregas is clear about it. If he loses Nico Paz, one of the season's great revelations in Italy, Como's coach knows where to find his replacement.
Pablo Torre to replace Nico Paz at Como
He is in Barcelona. Cesc Fàbregas wants Pablo Torre to replace Nico Paz.
Cesc knows Pablo Torre well and, although he has played very little this season, he believes that he can reliably fill in for Nico Paz.
At 22 years old, five more than Lamine Yamal, he hasn't been able to meet the expectations of a signing recommended by Xavi Hernández. He has only played 14 matches with 421 minutes (421 min), has scored 4 goals and has provided 3 assists.
Flick doesn't fully trust him, although he has no complaints about his professionalism in the day-to-day life of the locker room. The truth is that when the coach has needed him, he has delivered on the field.
But the truth is that his experience at Barça isn't being the fairy tale he was promised when he signed as a Barcelona player. He is at an age where he can't stagnate. That's why the move to Como is a solution that interests all parties, including him.
Barça don't want to lose him completely
Flick doesn't count on him, but Laporta doesn't want to risk him succeeding far from Barça. That's why the plan is to renew and extend his contract, loan him to Como, and keep full ownership of his rights.
In the winter transfer window, offers came in for him, but Pablo Torre refused to leave. He trusted that his luck would change in the second half of the season. Life has stayed the same for him and now he does want a change of scenery.
The problem is that Como want a purchase option in case the experiment works out, as has happened with Nico Paz. Or at least to have access to 50% of his rights.
He wants to leave and he will. The Como option appeals to him, and working under Cesc Fàbregas even more. Without meaning to, Florentino Pérez will have placed Pablo Torre at Como by taking Nico Paz.
Como's offer is €5 million for 50% of his rights. Laporta and Deco are now studying the response.
