Last summer, Tottenham Hotspur showed serious interest in Como’s Nico Paz, but weren’t able to secure his services.
Journalist Gianluca Di Marzio stated in August that the Serie A side rejected multiple offers from Tottenham. In September, Como sporting director Carlalberto Ludi said he was “proud” to have retained Paz amid approaches from Spurs.
Last month, we covered claims from Spain that Paz wasn’t keen on Tottenham’s €70m bid.
Fast forward to November and AS cover Tottenham’s interest and why it won’t be easy for them to sign the 21-year-old.
The Europa League winners are said to be back in the picture for the attacking midfielder despite last summer’s failure. Recent claims from Argentina have reported Inter Milan would be willing to offer €58m for Paz.
AS mention the latest on Tottenham, saying they’ve made contact, and relay claims of Inter interest, they then share their own take.
Real Madrid sold the Argentina international to Como in August 2024. They have secured a buyback clause of €9m for next summer and €10m for 2027. The Spanish giants also retain a 50% sell-on clause.
Despite interest from other clubs, AS claim Los Blancos haven’t ‘lost sight of him, nor have they lost control’. The report states everything points to Real Madrid activating the buyback clause.
Real Madrid’s buyback clause makes it challenging for Tottenham or any other club to sign Paz.
