Arsenal Eyes Another Real Madrid Talent After Odegaard Success – And It’s Not Arda Güler
Arsenal is reportedly monitoring the situation of a player still linked to Real Madrid, with Mikel Arteta eager to secure his services.
The player in question is Nico Paz, who left Madrid last summer to join Como. The young Argentine has quickly made an impact in Serie A, becoming one of the standout performers for the Italian club. His impressive form—scoring five goals and providing four assists in 21 league appearances—has caught the attention of Arsenal.
According to Tuttosport, the London club is keen on repeating the same strategy that brought Martin Odegaard from Real Madrid. However, Florentino Pérez holds the final say on Nico Paz’s future. Real Madrid retains 50% of any future transfer fee and has a buyback clause that allows them to bring him back during his first three seasons in Italy.
At just 20 years old, Nico Paz has proven his talent in Serie A, and Real Madrid is closely following his progress, aware of his potential return. However, Arsenal appears determined to challenge Madrid for his signature, making him one of the hottest prospects in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Real Madrid Holds the Key to Nico Paz’s Future
If Arsenal is serious about signing Nico Paz, they will need to negotiate directly with Real Madrid. The Spanish giants hold a strong position regarding his future, and if they want to keep him, they may need to act quickly this summer. Arteta, on the other hand, is preparing to bring in his “new Odegaard.”
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti recently acknowledged Nico Paz’s talent, stating:
“He is a player we follow closely. He is very talented, and this season away from Real Madrid has been beneficial for him. We believe he has the potential to be part of Real Madrid’s future.”
With such high praise from Ancelotti, it seems clear that Real Madrid values Nico Paz for the long term. However, Arsenal’s growing interest could make this one of the most intriguing transfer battles of the summer.
