Como have turned down a €70 million package from Tottenham Hotspur for Nico Paz.
The Serie A club received an offer for the Argentine from the Premier League club. According to Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham Hotspur bid €70 million for the 20 year old which was turned down.
Nico Paz wants to stay at Como with a view on a Real Madrid future. Madrid would have matched any proposal made.
Real Madrid have a €10 million buy back clause in 2026 for the player. Paz joined Como from Real Madrid last season.
Lyon are interested in signing Facundo Buonanotte of Brighton.
The Ligue 1 club could be getting Buonanotte on loan but Brighton will need to be convinced. According to L’Équipe, Lyon have convinced the 20 year old in joining them.
Facundo Buonanotte is convinced of Lyon’s project and would like to join them but Brighton would prefer that he joins a Premier League team. Buonanotte spent last season on loan at Leicester City.
Buonanotte joined Brighton two years ago from Rosario Central and the forward played 32 matches with them prior to joining Leicester City last season.
Nico Paz continues to impress in European football. The 20-year-old midfielder played a decisive role in Como’s 2-0 victory against Lazio in the opening round of the Italian Serie A.
Paz set up the first goal shortly after halftime with a brilliant play. Receiving the ball in midfield, he cut inside on his right foot, accelerated, and delivered a precise 30-meter ground pass through Lazio’s defense to assist Douvikas for the opener.
Later, in the 72nd minute, Paz sealed the win with a spectacular free kick. From a difficult angle for a left-footer, he curled the ball into the top right corner, leaving the goalkeeper with no chance. The strike was met with a standing ovation from the home fans.
Lazio had briefly thought they were back in the game when Valentín “Taty” Castellanos scored, but the goal was ruled out by VAR for a narrow offside.
Despite Real Madrid passing on the €8 million buy-back clause this summer, they could still bring Paz back in future years under different options. For now, the midfielder is making headlines in Italy and gaining valuable experience.
Aarón Anselmino will be joining Borussia Dortmund on loan from Chelsea.
Anselmino is joining the German club on a one year loan. According to Fabrizio Romano, the deal has been agreed on for a loan with no buy option as the Argentine will be returning to Chelsea in June 2026.
The 20 year old centre-back joined Chelsea from Boca Juniors last year.
Ángel Di María delivered a moment of brilliance in the 37th minute of the second half to give Rosario Central a 1-0 victory over rivals Newell’s in the clásico rosarino.
The 36-year-old curled a free kick perfectly into the top corner, igniting wild celebrations at the Gigante de Arroyito. The goal, Di María’s third of the season in the Liga Profesional Argentina, came after his first two had been scored from the penalty spot.
Visibly emotional, Di María celebrated with his trademark heart gesture, dedicating the goal to his wife and family in the stands. The stadium erupted in an ovation, with the home crowd saluting their idol in what turned into one of the most memorable nights since his return to Rosario Central.
Si algo le faltaba a Di María era hacer un golazo así en un clásico rosarino. Angelado total. pic.twitter.com/MX3OFr4j7M
