Nico Paz will take on a leadership role at Como this season, an opportunity for him to become a world-class player.

According to AS, after a breakout season, Nico Paz has begun training with Fàbregas. This season should be a defining year for the Spanish-Argentine dual national, with the Champions League challenge being Como's top priority. There are key moments in every player's career, but for this former Real Madrid player, this season, with the team's first foray into Europe's top competition, is one of the most important.

Nico Paz has the chance to become the face of Serie A in the 2026-27 season. He is a central figure in Fàbregas's plans for Como. Como is one of the most ambitious clubs in European football; the Lombardy club not only hopes to spring a surprise in the Italian league but also wants to conquer the entire continent in their first Champions League appearance. Nico Paz holds the key to fulfilling the dreams of Como fans. This Sunday, Como will play two warm-up matches against Liverpool (both at Anfield, one behind closed doors), and Nico Paz is expected to get some playing time.

The 21-year-old Argentine international hopes to get into form quickly, cutting short his vacation to join his teammates. He watched a warm-up match against Arsenal from the stands at the Emirates Stadium. Como values him highly because they know they are dealing with a unique player. One doesn't need to be an expert to see that he has the ability to lead a project planned by a northern Serie A club like Como. For this reason, Como worked hard to meet Real Madrid's financial demands and bought out Nico Paz. The player himself wanted to stay at Como, and the Lombardy club did everything to make it happen. It's worth noting that Real Madrid has a buy-back option for him in 2027 for approximately 80 million euros.

Wearing the number 10 shirt, Nico Paz's journey has not been easy. In August 2024, he made one of the most significant decisions of his life, and it now appears to have been the right one. Fàbregas played a crucial role in his adaptation, and Nico Paz responded exceptionally well – contributing 12 goals and 6 assists in Serie A. His creativity in the attacking third has made Como a well-oiled machine, ready to cause trouble for any opponent.

Thanks to his achievements last season, the attacker was called up by Scaloni for the 2026 World Cup. However, he did not get the playing time he expected at the World Cup. Nevertheless, Nico Paz is not only poised to become a flag-bearer for Como but also plays a role as the next generation's successor in the Argentine team.

Nico Paz's present and future are in Italy. This season, he has the opportunity to become an idol and a world-class star. Champions League fans are eagerly awaiting Fàbregas's Como debut – a charming team with young potential, ready to conquer Europe, and with a leader whose talent is capable of ushering in a new era. Nico Paz's moment has arrived.
