Como: Nico Paz is 100 percent a Como player

Como sporting director Carlalberto Ludi stated that Argentine player Nico Paz is a "100 percent Como player." Ludi said Real Madrid has retained the right to buy the player back until a certain date, but added that this is a normal situation within the transfer window.

Paz has been one of the standout names in the Champions League this season. The player, who has recorded three goals and five assists in four matches, contributed two goals and an assist in Como's 4-1 win over Manchester United. Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal are reportedly also interested in the player.

Ludi recalled that every year in November and March, reports emerge that Real Madrid will buy back players. He said Jacobo Ramón's name came up for this season, and Nico Paz's name for the next two seasons.

It is reported that Real Madrid exercised its buy-back option for Paz in the summer, but Como permanently brought the player back into its squad for a reported 60 million euros. The agreement includes a second Real Madrid buy-back option, valid only in summer 2027 and reported to be worth 80 million euros.

Ludi said the situation will be managed during the season. He stressed that the main priority at the moment is for the player to enjoy his time.
