Tottenhamin 70 miljoonan tarjous hylättiin Nico Paz jatkaa Comossa Real Madridin varjo taustalla

Tottenham Hotspur just took another punch in the transfer market. Their eye-popping €70 million bid for Nico Paz, the young sensation lighting up Serie A with Como, has been flat-out rejected. And you can see why—it’s almost impossible to put a price tag on what he means to his club right now.

A Star Born on Lake Como

Nico Paz is only 20, but you’d never guess it by the way he’s playing. The Argentine-Spanish midfielder has been electric at the start of the Serie A season, and his introduction to the big stage was unforgettable. Against Lazio, he curled in a brilliant free-kick and followed it up with a perfect assist to clinch a 2–0 win.

Overnight, headlines across Europe shouted his name. And back in Como—a club freshly returned to the Italian top flight—fans are daring to believe their team can be more than just survivors. Paz is the glowing centerpiece of that hope.

So when Spurs showed up with their millions, Como simply refused. For them, selling now would have been like tearing up a masterpiece before the paint dried.

Tottenham’s Uphill Battle

For Tottenham, though, this one stings. Their summer has been a cycle of near-misses. They chased Eberechi Eze but lost him to arch-rivals Arsenal, in a move that still burns for Spurs fans. Paz was meant to be the statement signing. First they tried €40 million. Then they doubled it to €70 million. Both bids were rejected.

The problem? This isn’t about money at all.

The Real Madrid Shadow

Hovering over the whole saga is Real Madrid. They know Paz well—he grew up in their academy before moving to Como in search of minutes. Madrid, being Madrid, secured a buy-back clause—and it’s a steal.

Next summer, they can bring Paz back for just €10 million. That’s not a typo. Ten million euros.

The implications? Como can either cash in on Tottenham’s riches now, or enjoy a full season of Paz’s brilliance before Madrid inevitably brings him back. For a newly promoted side, the choice is obvious: keep the spotlight while it lasts.

Why Como Said No

On the surface, turning down €70 million seems reckless. But when you drill down, it makes perfect sense:

  • On the field – Paz is vital to Como’s Serie A survival and ambition.
  • Off the field – He’s the kind of star who fills stadiums, attracts sponsors, and inspires belief.
  • Madrid’s clause – With such a small buy-back coming, cashing out now is pointless.

For Como fans, it’s not just about football—it’s about pride. Keeping Paz means keeping the dream alive.

Spurs Running Out of Options

Meanwhile, Tottenham’s hunt for a new leader in attack continues to drag. Since Harry Kane’s departure, they’ve lacked that match-winner who defines the team. They have young talent, yes, but not the superstar presence needed to challenge at the very top.

Chairman Daniel Levy has pulled off late-window miracles before. But time is ticking, and patience in north London is wearing thin.

What’s Next for Nico Paz?

The next few months seem clear: Paz remains at Como. He’ll light up Serie A, elevate his club, and keep growing his reputation. Then, next summer, Madrid can bring him back for pocket change. Spurs’ multimillion-euro offers will feel like a ghost of what might have been.

The truth is, Spurs were never bidding against Como. They were bidding against inevitability—against history and the shadow of Madrid.

The Bottom Line

  • Tottenham offered €70 million—Como said no.
  • Real Madrid hold a €10 million buy-back clause for next year.
  • For Como, the chance to enjoy Paz for one season outweighs immediate money.
  • Spurs’ already frustrating window just got even tougher.
