Nico Paz and Como football performance

Overview

Following a historic 2025/26 season in which Nico Paz helped Como secure a fourth-place finish and UEFA Champions League qualification, the Argentine midfielder was named the Serie A best young player. During that campaign, Paz recorded 12 goals and seven assists.

In the early stages of the 2026/27 season, Paz continued his performance for Como, scoring his first goal of the campaign in a 4-1 away victory against Genoa. This win brought Como to seven points in the league standings.

In September 2026, Paz solidified his future with the club through a permanent transfer from Real Madrid for 60 million euros. While the move follows his decision to prioritize playing time over returning to Spain—where he faced heavy competition from players such as Jude Bellingham and Arda Güler—Real Madrid retained a buy-back option of 80 million euros, activatable in the summer of 2027.

Under the management of Cesc Fàbregas, the 21-year-old has become a central figure for Como. He recently recorded two assists in a 4-1 Champions League victory against RB Leipzig, a performance that has drawn interest from Premier League clubs including Manchester United, Chelsea, and Tottenham.
