**Como, Italy** – Former Real Madrid starlet Nico Paz has made a stellar start to his Serie A career at Como, thanks in part to the persuasive powers of manager Cesc Fabregas. Paz, who joined Como on a permanent transfer last summer, has already notched three assists in his first six appearances.
However, Real Madrid, despite letting Paz move, retained a buy-back clause, ensuring they maintain control over the 20-year-old talent.
According to Football Italia transfer expert Matteo Moretto, several clubs, including Girona, Fiorentina, Stuttgart, and Marseille, were interested in Paz last summer. But it was the chance to work under Fabregas that ultimately tipped the scales in Como’s favor.
Real Madrid continues to monitor Paz’s progress closely, and he recently received his first senior call-up to the Argentine national team.
While Paz has enjoyed a positive start to life in Serie A, his future remains uncertain. The presence of the buy-back clause means Real Madrid could potentially bring him back to the Bernabeu, should his development continue on its current trajectory.
