Paz and Ramon to Continue at Como Despite Chatter
Nico Paz has taken his tour to Europe this season, gaining more fans and generating buzz, especially in England, but he’ll stay at Como at least until the end of the season. The same goes for defender Jacobo Ramon.
According to Fabrizio Romano (via SOSFanta), Real Madrid don’t have a clause to bring him back during the winter. A few Premier League outfits are very keen on him, but he has no price tag at the moment, because the Lariani won’t entertain the topic. He leads the UEFA Champions League in goal contributions, having scored three goals and dished out five assists. He has tallied three of each in Serie A play.
The future of Nico Paz will again go through Les Merengues next summer because of their €80M buy-back clause. He decided to stay at Como in July, which acquired him for €60M, revising the previous agreement.
Director Carlalberto Ludi addressed the matter to Corriere dello Sport.
“It was a win-win situation. We had the chance to count on a player with great potential, while Real Madrid believed in our technical project, also thanks to Cesc Fabregas’ credibility and ability. When we negotiated for him, we also updated on Ramon’s position. He’ll surely stay for the whole season. It’s still early to tell what his future will be.”
Our Take on Como, Nico Paz, and Ramon
It was costly financially, but keeping him was a masterstroke and gave them more time to bring in and develop potential heirs and also to keep growing as a team. Another UEFA Champions League qualification would be a bonanza. Still, considering their revenue, it’d be highly surprising if it didn’t turn out to be a glorified loan spell, with a €20M bonus.
