Arsenal linked with Nico Paz, but sourcing remains thin

The situation

Arsenal's long-rumoured interest in Nico Paz has resurfaced, with talk of a move for the Como midfielder doing the rounds again despite no transfer window being open in the Premier League right now. The earliest any deal could be completed is January 2027, when the window runs from the 1st to the 1st of February. Paz has 18 months left on his Como contract at that point, with the deal running to 30 June 2028, so there is no pressure on him from an expiring deal. Manchester United have also been linked, though nothing in the reporting ranks one club above the other.

The reporting

Football Insider first reported the story on 22 October 2026, and CaughtOffside has since put a figure of €100m on what a move might cost. Beyond that, the sourcing thins out fast. Every outlet carrying the story since is a tabloid or an aggregator, and no trusted reporter has backed it. The closest thing to a substantial mention comes from Sky Sports News on 6 October, which described Arsenal as merely 'interested' and noted a setback to any approach, well short of confirming talks or an agreement.

The outlook

Given the lack of any trusted reporter attaching real substance to it, this looks like a long shot rather than a live negotiation. For it to move anywhere, Arsenal would need to firm up genuine interest once the January window opens, and Como would need a reason to sell a player who only joined just over two years ago and has no pressing contract clock running down. Right now there is no evidence either club has engaged seriously.

What to watch

Watch for any shift in Arsenal's recruitment plans once the January window opens, or for a reliable reporter to pick the story up and give it real weight.
