Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly very keen on signing a young Argentine international, but a fresh report explains why the Lilywhites have to pay over the odds to land the player this summer.
Spurs have signed some extremely talented young players over the last two years and the North London club are seemingly about to continue with the same policy, with one Serie A starlet catching their eye.
It was first reported at the start of March that Tottenham’s scouts had been mightily impressed by Nico Paz, who has blossomed at Como since joining from Real Madrid last summer.
However, it later emerged that Real Madrid have a buy-back clause on Paz and have told the attacking midfielder they plan on activating the option in the summer of 2026.
Tottenham have to spend big to sign Nico Paz
GiveMeSport have now also reported on Spurs’ interest in the Argentine international, but they say that the Lilywhites are one of just several clubs who are interested in acquiring the 20-year-old’s services this summer.
The outlet claims that the midfielder’s tactical understanding, combined with his vision and passing range, are what attract Tottenham Hotspur, who are looking to upgrade in the middle of the park this summer.
However, they too point to Madrid’s buy-back clause and add that Spurs will have to spend a lot more than Los Blancos if they wish to bring the player to N17 this summer.
