After Tottenham Hotspur had an offer turned down by Como for Nico Paz, the Serie A club’s manager, Cesc Fabregas, has now revealed what he thinks about the attacking midfielder’s future.
Over the last few days, there has been a lot of speculation regarding which number ten Tottenham will turn to next after being snubbed by Eberechi Eze.
It has been claimed by some sources that Nico Paz has now shot to the top of Tottenham’s wishlist on the back of his outstanding debut season in Serie A last term, following his switch from Real Madrid in 2024.
It was revealed by Fabrizio Romano on Sunday night that Spurs had a €70m (£60.7m) offer rejected by Como for Paz.
The journalist revealed that the midfielder wants to stay at Como with a view to returning to Real Madrid in the future, as Los Blancos have a buy-back clause on the youngster.
Cesc Fabrigas asked about Tottenham’s move for Nico Paz
The Argentina international showed against Lazio on Sunday just why Tottenham Hotspur are willing to break the bank for him, registering a sublime goal and an assist as Como emerged 2-0 winners.
After the game, Fabregas insisted that he is not worried about losing his talisman, revealing that Paz wants to remain at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia.

When asked if he is worried about losing the young attacking midfielder to Tottenham, Fabrigas said (via Fabrizio Romano): “I’m very calm and relaxed, Nico is very happy here at Como. He’s a top, top player.”
Why Spurs fans should not be ruling out Paz’s arrival
A number of sources have suggested that Paz is not too keen on a move to Tottenham this summer due to his desire to return to Real Madrid in the future.
However, clubs do not usually make offers for players without first talking to them and finding out if they are open to the move.
