Nico Paz's talent hasn't gone unnoticed in Europe. The Argentine midfielder left the white club last summer to join Como. Trained in Real Madrid's youth academy, he was in search of more playing time and prominence.
His performance in Serie A has been spectacular, accumulating 5 goals and 4 assists in 21 matches. His growth has caught the attention of several clubs, but it's Arsenal that seems determined to sign him.
Mikel Arteta's team continues to bet on young talents with great potential, and they see Nico Paz as an ideal player to strengthen their squad. According to Tuttosport, the English club has shown real interest in acquiring his services, and in the coming weeks, they could make a formal offer. The Premier League is an attractive destination, and the player might view the possibility of making a big leap in his career favorably.
Real Madrid still has control
Despite his move to Como, Real Madrid hasn't completely lost its connection with Nico Paz. The white club holds 50% of the rights over a future sale, which means they would receive half of the money if Como transfers him. Additionally, they have a buyback clause valid during the player's first three seasons in Italy, an option that would allow them to bring him back if deemed necessary.
In Madrid, they haven't stopped following his evolution. They are aware of the enormous potential he has and that he could be an important player in the team's future.
However, Arsenal's offer could complicate their plans. If Arsenal advances in negotiations, Madrid will have to decide between letting him go or bringing him back after his great performance in Italy.
A dilemma for the player's future
For Nico Paz, this situation represents a crossroads in his career. His first season in Serie A has been a success, and now he has the opportunity to continue growing in a higher-level team. The option to play at Arsenal and in the Premier League is tempting, but Madrid remains present in his horizon.
If the white club decides to execute the buyback, the player could return home and fight for a spot in Carlo Ancelotti's squad. However, if Arsenal presents an irresistible offer and Como agrees to sell him, his future could definitively move away from Santiago Bernabéu.
