Nico Paz is making waves in Italy with his standout performances for Como, Cesc Fabregas’ team in Serie A, boasting six goals and five assists in 29 games this season. As a result, rumors have surfaced about a potential return to his boyhood club, Real Madrid. Italian football legend Francesco Totti weighed in on the young midfielder, telling Italian Football TV that he would have signed him for Roma. He praised Paz for his creativity and playful nature, saying, “I’d bet on a young player like Nico Paz. I like him. He’s original, creative, and a bit of a trickster.”
Totti is convinced Paz will return to Madrid and become a top player. He thinks the Spanish giants made a smart move by loaning him to Como. “Due to his youth, I think Real Madrid made the right choice. Lending him to Como to gain experience, especially in Italian football, which isn’t easy,” Totti said.
Here’s a rundown of the deal: Real Madrid sold 50% of Paz’s rights to Como last summer but retains the option to buy him back for €8 million in the next transfer window.
Career Trajectory
Totti’s comments come at a time when Paz is impressing with his skills. As he continues to grow as a player, the question on everyone’s mind is: will he return to Real Madrid and live up to Totti’s expectations? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – Nico Paz is a player to watch.
