Nico Paz attracts interest from a Champions League club!

Como and Argentina midfielder Nico Paz has emerged as one of Manchester United's top transfer targets.

Details: According to The Sun, the English club's scouts and hierarchy are closely monitoring the 22-year-old's progress, with his dazzling performances in Serie A making a strong impression on the recruitment team. United's interest in the Argentine playmaker is partly linked to uncertainty over captain Bruno Fernandes's future. Manchester United are considering a major bid in the winter or summer transfer window, but a potential deal would be complicated: Real Madrid retain a preferential buy-back option for the player at a fixed fee of €80 million.

Como's hierarchy, led by Cesc Fàbregas, have been impressed by the midfielder's performances, which have made him a key figure in the team's setup. Despite strong interest from Premier League heavyweights, the Italian club are hoping to keep hold of their star, although big-money offers and Real Madrid's position could dramatically shift the balance in the transfer market.

In the 2026/27 season, Paz has made 14 appearances for Como in all competitions. The Argentine star has scored six goals and provided eight assists.
