Como confident Nico Paz won’t return to Real Madrid: ‘High probability’
Como director, Carlalberto Ludi says there is a ‘high probability’ that Nico Paz will spend another year at the club and is also confident about Cesc Fabregas’ stay ‘until something extraordinary happens.’
Argentine talent Nico Paz has been among the best Serie A players this season, prompting several media outlets to claim that Real Madrid would re-sign him at the end of the season.
During an interview with Radio Radio Lo Sport, however, Como’s sporting director Ludi said he was confident Paz would spend another season at the Stadio Sinigaglia.
“There is a high probability that Nico Paz will stay with us for another year,” Ludi said via Calciomercato.com.
As previously stated by Como President Mirwan Suwarso, a decision on Nico Paz’s future is entirely up to Real Madrid, as the Merengues have an option to re-sign the Argentine until 2027 and can match any offer Como receive in the same period.
“It’s always the same story. We cannot control the will of others,” Ludi continued.
“We are happy with him [Nico Paz], and he is very happy with us. Any European competition would play in our favour. The chances of him staying are still high today, even if the World Cup has to be considered too.”
Como sit fourth in the Serie A table with a three-point lead over Juventus and Roma, so even the Azzurri’s coach, Cesc Fabregas, has been subject to speculation.
“We have already talked several times. Right now, we are in a sweet spot. There is total alignment between what he wants to do and Como,” Ludi concluded.
“We want to continue growing, and we make resources available to him without limits. Until something extraordinary happens on the market concerning him, we will move forward together. We can talk about what we offer him, not what others might offer. At this moment, we have no fear that he might leave us.”
