Spurs see €72m Nico Paz bid rejected by Como, per roundup
The situation
Tottenham's interest in Nico Paz is the single move pulled out of a wider roundup today, and the claim is a bruising one for Spurs: a €72m bid for the 22-year-old Argentine, turned down by Como. Paz joined Como from Real Madrid II for €6m on 25 August 2024, two years and two months ago, and his contract runs to 30 June 2028. So Como are under no pressure to let him go cheaply.
The reporting
The sourcing here is slight. Fabrizio Romano's report was carried by FootballTransfers by 8 November, and that is the whole of it: one roundup headline naming the failed €72m approach. No trusted reporter has backed it, and no other outlet has matched it with anything fresh.
The outlook
The chance of this landing by the 1 February 2027 deadline is remote. A rejected bid is the starting point, not the finish, and nothing in the reporting suggests Como are willing sellers in January with 18 months still on his deal when the window opens.
The context
The €72m already knocked back sits well short of his €108m value. For comparison, Tottenham paid Newcastle United €108m for Sandro Tonali in 2026 and West Ham United €99m for Mateus Fernandes the same year. Spurs have gone far higher for midfielders before, which tells you €72m was never going to tempt Como.
What happens next
What would move this on is a second, markedly bigger offer that Como accept, or a report from another outlet adding detail the roundup lacks.
