Dele Alli
January 2026
Dele reportedly has four offers from La Liga clubs as he looks for a restart after a short Como spell ended and his game time has been near zero for almost three years. Injuries derailed his Everton return and he left in 2024, joined Como late in 2024, then saw his lone appearance end in a red card before his deal was terminated, leaving him to rebuild fitness independently and pick a Spanish landing spot.
Dele Alli
December 2025
The former England and Tottenham star is a free agent and struggling to attract interest after an injury-ravaged spell at Everton, a failed loan at Besiktas, and a single, red-carded cameo for Como that ended with his deal being torn up. Ex-Spurs defender Stephen Carr says Alli is in “last chance saloon”, warning his lack of games has left his body unaccustomed to elite intensity, making injuries and rust likely and meaning he may now have to accept trial spells and prove he still has the hunger.
Nico Paz (Como)
October 2025
Real Madrid retain the right to re-sign Argentine midfielder Nico Paz from Como for just €9 million in 2026 or €10 million in 2027 under the buyback clause agreed during his 2024 transfer. The 21-year-old has flourished under coach Cesc Fàbregas, recording six goals and nine assists last season and adding three goals and three assists this term.
Como president Mirwan Suwarso confirmed Madrid’s option, stating: “Real Madrid are allowed to buy him back whenever they want. It’s up to Nico to decide his future.” Tottenham had tabled a €70m offer in the summer, but Paz opted to stay. Seen as a long-term successor to Lionel Messi in Argentina’s midfield, he remains central to Xabi Alonso’s rebuild plans.
Joshua Zirkzee (Manchester United)
October 2025
Joshua Zirkzee is considering a January switch to Serie A with Como and Juventus both interested. The 24-year-old has struggled for minutes under Ruben Amorim, featuring only as a substitute this season despite a €42.5m move from Bologna last year.
Como boss Cesc Fàbregas views Zirkzee as an ideal attacking addition, while Juve may reignite summer interest. United are open to a loan or permanent deal. With Amorim’s tenure already under pressure, Zirkzee’s future highlights issues in United’s transfer strategy.
Dele Alli
September 2025
Dele Alli’s career crisis deepened as his contract with Serie A side Como was terminated after only one appearance. His brief Italian stint, meant to revive his spark, ended abruptly following a red card on debut and continued struggles on and off the pitch. The former Tottenham star, once tipped for greatness, has barely played since an underwhelming loan at Besiktas in 2023. With form and fitness elusive, he faces another uncertain chapter. Roberto Di Matteo urged him to enjoy life despite his dramatic fall from promise.
Nico Paz (Como)
August 2025
Tottenham’s improved €70m bid for Nico Paz has been rejected by Como, who remain determined to keep him this season. Spurs identified Paz as a top target after missing out on Eberechi Eze, but the Argentine prefers a Real Madrid return. Spurs’ earlier €40m bid was also rejected. Real Madrid hold a €10m buy-back clause active in 2026 and intend to trigger it, complicating Tottenham’s pursuit. For now, Paz remains at Como, resisting Spurs’ advances while planning a future back at Madrid.
Nico Paz (Como)
August 2025
Tottenham raised their bid to €50m for Nico Paz after missing out on Eberechi Eze. With James Maddison sidelined, Spurs are pushing for creativity in midfield, though Como value Paz closer to €70m. Spurs’ urgency to find a playmaker has intensified, but no agreement has been reached with Como or Paz himself. Tottenham’s failed Eze chase and Maddison’s injury leave them scrambling late in the window.
Nico Paz (Como)
August 2025
Spurs had a €40m bid for Paz rejected by Como as they seek to replace injured James Maddison. Real Madrid hold key rights to Paz, including a 50% sell-on clause and 2026 buyback option. Spurs’ bid would’ve netted Como only €20m.
Maximo Perrone (Manchester City > Como)
July 2025
Manchester City have sold 22-year-old midfielder Maximo Perrone to Como for a deal worth up to £13m. The agreement includes a 30% sell-on clause as part of City’s future profit protection.
Perrone joined City from Velez in 2023 and made one Premier League appearance before two loan spells at Las Palmas and Como. Como have now secured him permanently following a successful loan stint last season.
Nico Paz (Como)
May 2025
Madrid are preparing to activate an €8m buyback clause for midfielder Nico Paz before the July 15 deadline.
Paz, 20, impressed this season with 6 goals and 8 assists in 34 matches. The clause was part of his 2024 sale to Como.
