Those who saw Como’s overrun of Manchester United in the Champions League also got Nico Paz. The 22-year-old with his “magical skills”, as it is called on the ball island, has been one of the really big attacking players in the Champions League with his three goals and five assists in the first four games. In Serie A, the attacking midfielder has also shown himself since his transfer in 2024 from Real Madrid. For Paz, there is no reason to leave the fun of Cesc Fabregas and Como, but this week a change has taken place at one of the world’s biggest clubs that could tempt the Argentine star.
Real Madrid have a buy-back clause in their contract with Como, but with Jude Bellingham starring in attacking midfield at Real, returning to the San Bernabeu is unlikely to be the way to go. Mauricio Pochettino’s arrival at Manchester United is now rumoured to be a source of movement.

According to former Manchester Evening News journalist Samuel Luckhurst, Paz is on Manchester United’s wish list, and with Argentine Pochettino as the new head coach, this could help persuade the attacking midfielder to choose Old Trafford.
