Nico Paz remains focused on his journey with Como, despite ongoing transfer rumours. Last season, he made significant contributions in Serie A, scoring eight goals and providing six assists. Among midfielders, only Christian Pulisic surpassed his expected goals (xG) of 9.3 with a score of 12.0. Paz played the second-most league games among players born in 2004 or later in Europe's top five leagues.

Having joined Como from Real Madrid for a reported €6 million last summer, Paz has attracted interest from both Los Blancos and Tottenham for the 2025-26 season. However, the Argentine international is not overly concerned about these speculations but hasn't dismissed the possibility of returning to Madrid in the future. "There will always be a lot of rumours, but I am calm and focused on Como," Paz told Spanish outlet SOS Fanta.

Paz expressed his enthusiasm for playing with Como, highlighting the team's supportive environment and beautiful surroundings. He stated, "A very important season is about to start, and we can achieve great things." His excitement is palpable as he looks forward to showcasing Como's potential in the upcoming matches.

The presence of head coach Cesc Fabregas significantly influenced Paz's decision to stay at Como. He values Fabregas' belief in him and sees it as crucial for young players to be part of a team where they are essential rather than just assets. "It is crucial for players our age to join a team where the coach believes in you," Paz added.

Paz appreciates learning from Fabregas, considering him one of the best players globally. The guidance he receives helps him grow during this pivotal stage of his career. "I learn a lot from him; he was one of the best players in the world," Paz remarked.

While speculation about a return to Real Madrid persists, Paz remains committed to his current club. "You never know [about a return to Madrid]," he mentioned, leaving room for future possibilities without losing focus on his present commitments at Como.
