Tottenham preparing to challenge Real Madrid for €80 million Serie A star

Tottenham Hotspur are preparing a big offer for Real Madrid target Nico Paz

Tottenham Hotspur have had quite a busy 2025 summer transfer window and their work in this market has allowed them to assemble quite a good team for Thomas Frank for this season. The effectiveness of this team was fully on display in the opening match of the 2025-26 Premier League campaign against Burnley, which Spurs won with a 3-0 scoreline.

However, there are still some weak areas in the team, and one such weaker area is that of the playmaker. James Maddison suffered a serious injury during the preseason, which is expected to keep him out of action for several months. Furthermore, Son Heung-Min also left the club a few weeks ago.

Tottenham are actively looking to mitigate this weakness, and for this purpose, they first tried to bring in Morgan Gibbs-White and then tried to sign Eberechi Eze. However, neither of these operations have ended successfully for them.

In such a context, Fichajes reports that Spurs are now preparing a €80 million bid to sign the Como playmaker Nico Paz, who has been a key player for Cesc Fabregas. His good performances are also attracting the attention of several other big European clubs, thus making it difficult for the North London side to land him.

Real Madrid could present a significant challenge

However, the biggest barrier for the Lilywhites could be Real Madrid, as they have several options on the player. If the Merengues decided to bring the Argentine back to their team, they will have an advantage over Tottenham as they can effectively block their move. Other sides like Juventus and Atletico Madrid have also explored the player’s situation.

Still, Como are free to negotiate for the midfielder, and there is no doubt that he will be a very good addition to this Spurs team, that is looking to bolster its playmaking options. During his first season in Italy, he scored six goals and provided 9 assists in 35 appearances.

With Eberechi Eze now seemingly out of the reach of Tottenham, the fans would certainly be excited if the club makes a move for Nico Paz as he would not only provide an immediate attacking option but would also have a lot of room for further growth in the years to come.
