Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester United have been told by Real Madrid to forget about signing Argentine starlet Nico Paz, TBR Football understands.
Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and United have all been actively following Paz’s progress with Como since his summer move from Real Madrid.
Los Blancos sold Paz to Como last summer, however, they made sure to include a sell-on fee and buy-backs in the deal.
Paz has been outstanding for Cesc Fabregas’s side and has attracted a lot of interest from the Premier League, with several clubs scouting him heavily, together with their Serie A rivals Inter Milan.
Real Madrid want to re-sign Nico Paz in 2026
Nico Paz’s representatives have informed his suitors that Real Madrid have decided that the midfielder will not be moving this summer, sources have told TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey.
The Spanish giants want him to stay in Como for another season before moving back to the Bernabeu in 2026.
TBR Football revealed last month that Tottenham scouts ‘really liked’ what they saw from Paz and the North London club were considering making a move.
Meanwhile, Arsenal had also shown an interest in Paz, however, both clubs can forget about landing the talented youngster who is set for a return to Madrid.
Fabregas claims that Paz is valued at over £50 million by Como which only further complicated the player moving elsewhere.
Sources have told TBR Football that Paz’s ambition is still to make it with Real Madrid, so he is happy to go along with their wishes at this point – despite the interest from other clubs.
Nico Paz has been really impressive in Serie A this season
The 20-year-old has been really impressing in Serie A this season for Como 1907 and it’s no wonder his form has attracted so much interest.
The Italian club did some astute business bringing him in for just £6 million and should make a nice profit on the youngster.

Paz has 12 goal contributions in the Italian top flight this season having made 27 appearances for Fabregas’ team.
