Nico Paz has become one of the great revelations of Serie A. His performance with Como has been spectacular. In 1,819 minutes, he has scored six goals and provided six assists.
A total of 12 contributions have earned him the admiration of the league. His growth has been evident, and his influence on the field is increasing.
Real Madrid has a buyback option for 8 million euros, which could bring him back to the Spanish capital. However, this decision is not so simple. Returning to Madrid could mean losing prominence, something Nico is not willing to risk.
Nico Paz's Desire
Nico's father, Pablo Paz, was clear about his son's intentions. In a recent interview with La Provincia di Como, he revealed that Nico's priority is to stay in Italy.
"Without a doubt, he would like to stay one more year at Como. He is very happy here. With Fàbregas on the bench, it's like doing a university master's," stated Pablo.
These words reflect the great moment the young midfielder is experiencing. Como has given him the opportunity to play, grow, and learn. In Italy, he feels comfortable, and the team's project has given him the confidence to continue developing.
The Crucial Role of Cesc Fàbregas
A key factor in Nico Paz's growth has been the presence of Cesc Fàbregas. The former footballer and current coach of Como has been essential in Nico's evolution. According to his father, the conversation with Fàbregas was crucial for the player to understand the club's project.
"Fàbregas's presence was decisive. He explained how Nico could play in the way he likes. Talking to him gave us a lot of clarity," said Pablo.
Cesc's experience has been invaluable for Nico, who is learning from one of the best in his position.
Real Madrid's Uncertain Future
Real Madrid, meanwhile, has the option to reclaim Nico Paz for 8 million euros. However, returning to Madrid could mean a secondary role in a squad full of stars. The case of Arda Güler, who has played very few minutes, is an example of what could happen to Nico.
For now, the decision seems clear for Nico: to continue at Como, where he has minutes and prominence. Real Madrid will have to make a difficult decision. If they want to reclaim Nico, they will have to guarantee him an important place on the team.
Meanwhile, the young midfielder continues to grow in Italy, where he feels valued and in an ideal environment for his development.
