Tottenham Hotspur are one of a number of sides that are interested in acquiring the services of Nico Paz, according to Fichajes.
It has been a disappointing season for Spurs, one that has seen much of their team be ravaged by injury for large portions of the campaign. The Lilywhites are, however, in the semi-finals of the Europa League, with Spurs desperate to finally bring an end to their 17-year trophy drought.
Domestically, however, things have been poor. Spurs are set for a mid-table finish, well off qualifying for Europe by their league position. They were dumped out of both domestic cup competitions also, all of which has seen pressure rise on manager Ange Postecoglou as the season has gone on.
Be it due to injury or a need for improvement, Spurs are expected to move in the summer transfer window and are seemingly already putting together a shortlist of players, featuring this particular starlet.
Spurs Keen on Paz
One of many clubs tracking him
As per Fichajes, Spurs are one of three clubs that are interested in Nico Paz, who joined Como after their promotion to Serie A from Real Madrid. An Argentinian international, Paz showed glimpses of his quality in the Spanish capital, but it has been with Como that he has truly broken out as a player, with Paz having been dubbed as "special."
An attacking midfielder, Paz has a high understanding of the game despite his young age which, combined with his abilities on the ball, passing range, vision and a "left foot made of gold," as described on social media, makes him a highly-coveted asset.
Real Madrid implemented a buy-back clause in Paz’s departure, meaning that for a few years from 2025 onwards, Los Blancos will have the opportunity to bring Paz back to the club for a fixed fee. Spurs would, most likely, have to pay far more than Real Madrid would in order to acquire Paz’s services.
Perhaps the allure of the Premier League and consistent football within the division would tempt Paz into moving to North London, which would be a major coup for Spurs. Real Madrid are almost impossible to say no to, so should the Lilywhites pull off a deal for Paz, it should be viewed as nothing other than exceptional.
