Nico Paz now Tottenham’s target after Eze deal falls through | OneFootball

Following the collapse of Eberechi Eze's transfer, who will join Arsenal, the Europa League champion has renewed their interest in the Argentine national team's young talent who emerged from Real Madrid.

Nico Paz had a great first season at Como which sparked the interest of major European teams, including Real Madrid and Inter, with Tottenham not backing down and persisting after their initial offer was rejected.

According to The Independent, the tough news that Eberechi Eze ultimately favors a move to Arsenal over the Spurs has led the north London club to consider other options, and the name of the Argentine midfielder has re-emerged.

The Europa League champion team considers Paz to be the most attainable target on the short list, which also includes Conor Gallegher, currently at Atlético de Madrid, whose salary exceeds the possibilities for the team led by Cutir Romero.

According to reports from Italy, Gianluca Di Marzio, the Spurs wanted to start negotiations at 40 million euros. However, the Italian club was firm and rejected that amount, as they valued the Argentine national team midfielder at 70,000,000 euros, the same as the team's other star, the Spanish-Senegalese forward Assane Diao.

The institution led by Cesc Fábregas wants to acquire 100% of Paz's rights, because 50% belongs to Real Madrid, which also has buy-back options in 2025, 2026, and 2027 for 8, 9, and 10 million euros, respectively. Additionally, if a hypothetical sale is accepted, Real Madrid can decide whether to match that amount or receive half of the sum.
