Como, Nico Paz faces uncertain future as sale looks inevitable | OneFootball

Como's debut in Serie A had an absolute protagonist: Nico Paz. With a brilliant assist for Douvikas and a masterful penalty, the Argentine led the Larians to victory against Lazio, confirming himself as one of the most interesting talents in the championship.

Como, Nico Paz and the uncertain future: why the club resists, but the sale is almost inevitable

But while he shines on the field, off the pitch the market plots concerning him thicken.

The assault of Tottenham and the wall of Como

According to the latest rumors, Tottenham has made a new offer of 70 million euros, after the previous proposal of 40 million was considered inadequate. This time too Como has repelled the assault, but the player's contractual situation makes resistance complicated.

Real Madrid indeed holds 50% of a future resale, which would significantly reduce the actual income for the Larians (35 million in the case of the figure proposed by the Spurs).

The repurchase clause: a crucial knot

The agreement with Real Madrid provides for a repurchase clause active every July of the market:

9 million in 2026

10 million in 2027

This means that, if Como does not sell Nico Paz by September 2025 or in the winter session of January 2026, it risks losing him for a figure significantly lower than his current market value.

A possible strategy? Negotiate with Real the removal of this clause, but maintaining the percentage on the future resale. Contacts in this sense have already been initiated.

Real Madrid observes, but plays for time

The Blancos, who closely follow the evolution of Nico Paz, could also decide to let him grow in Como for another one or two seasons, and then repurchase him at a higher figure than that set by the current clause.
