50M for Real Madrid, Florentino has the final say

Tottenham has made a new offer for the Argentine international and is offering €50 million to Como for his signing

A figure that resonates strongly. Tottenham has made an offer of €50 million ($54.4 million) for Nico Paz, a young prospect who trained in Real Madrid's academy and now stands out at Como under Cesc Fàbregas. But, for now, there is no agreement.

The market is one week away from closing. Many surprises already seemed impossible; however, the contest continues and unexpected twists may still arise. This one, without a doubt, has all the ingredients of a late bomb.

Tottenham's interest isn't new, but its proposal is. According to renowned Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, the "Spurs" have submitted a tempting offer that puts the Italian club and Madrid in the spotlight. Como hasn't replied yet and Nico, focused on his career, hasn't commented publicly either.

Florentino, alert to the move

From Madrid, the operation is being closely followed. Real still owns 50% of the midfielder's rights. That means the final decision is in Florentino Pérez's hands. A sale of this magnitude isn't just a sporting operation; it's also a business deal with significant financial impact.

For Cesc Fàbregas and his Como, Paz's possible departure would pose a challenge. The player has the coach's and the club's trust. In the last season, he played 35 matches, scored 6 goals, and recorded 8 assists. He is, without a doubt, a key piece of the team. A sale now would leave a gap that's difficult to fill.

Tottenham pushes, Como considers

The ball is in the board's court. With time running out, a response is expected in the coming days. Tottenham insists, Como hesitates, and Real supervises the move from Madrid.

If the sale is ultimately completed, Florentino Pérez will receive the check for €25 million ($27.2 million)—half of the total—without exchanging a player. An economic bonus that, in the offices, weighs as much as any signing.

While the operation is being decided, Pérez has the final say. The soccer world watches closely, expectant. Will this be the surprise signing that closes the market?
