Nico Paz takes center stage on the first day of Serie A, and he does it his way. An assist for Douvikas’ opening goal and a splendid free kick under the crossbar for the final double.
In between, plenty of football, plenty of flair. Fabregas’ number 10 lit up the debut night (once again), confirming himself as one of the brightest stars in the entire league.

It’s only natural, then, that the big clubs across Europe want to try for him. At the end of last season, it seemed Inter might have some convincing arguments, only for everything to fall apart with Cesc’s confirmation on the Lariani bench.
Real never exercised the buy-back clause—but kept control over the Argentine—and now Tottenham is making a strong move. The Spurs saw their first offer of 40 million rejected, deemed too low. In the Premier League, as we know, the financial power is much greater, and so the North London club came back with another bid.
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Tottenham bid worth €70m package for Nico Páz has been turned down tonight.

This time, on the table, a package worth 70 million. An amount impossible for any Italian club to refuse—except for Como, who thanked them and declined once again. At this point, considering the player’s desire to stay, a departure before the end of the transfer window can be ruled out.Â
It will be difficult, however, to keep him on the shores of the Lake next year, when Real can exercise the buy-back for just 10 million. Nothing, if you consider the player’s value. But that’s talk for the future. For now, Nico Paz remains at Como to continue lighting up all of Serie A.
