Tottenham was denied the offer of £ 36 million for Nico Paz

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Tottenham's suggestion for £ 40 million (£ 34.6 million) for Nico Paz was rejected by Como.

The 20 -year -old has joined the Como under a contract worth 6 million euros (5 million pounds) from Real Madrid last year. Nico Paz impressed the first season in Serie A with 6 goals and 8 assists and was contacted to return to Real Madrid.

Meanwhile, Spurs is still looking for a new attacking midfielder after being unable to sign a contract with Morgan Gibbs-White from Nottingham Forest. The need to increase the midfield of Tottenham also increased when James Maddison is expected to have to take a break from the upcoming season because of the previous ligament injury.

Tottenham was denied the offer of £ 36 million for Nico Paz.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio of Sky Sport Italia, Spurs began negotiating with Como to sign a contract with Paz but the opening price of 40 million euros (£ 34.6 million) was rejected by the Serie A team. Como priced at Paz at 70 million euros (£ 60.7 million) and Spurs will need to offer at least 60 million euros (52 million pounds) to be considered.

Real Madrid will receive a significant fee if Como sells Paz, so they will not sell their stars cheap. Speaking at the end of last season, the head coach of Como, Cesc Fabregas, made it clear to Paz that he needed to play regularly if he wanted to ensure a capacity in the Argentine squad to attend the 2026 World Cup next summer. He said:

“We don't know anything, we don't care about rumors. He is our player and now he will stay with us. It is important for him to play next season, which will give him the opportunity to recruit Argentina to play at the 2026 World Cup finals.”
