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.

Maddison suffered an ACL injury in a friendly vs Newcastle, ruling him out for most of the season, including the Super Cup, Premier League, Champions League, and World Cup year. The 28-year-old underwent successful surgery, thanked supporters for their messages, and vowed to return stronger despite the devastating timing.

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.

Initial fears have been confirmed by scans showing potential ligament damage. A full diagnosis is expected within 48 hours, dealing Spurs a major blow ahead of the second leg and potential final.
