Notwithstanding, the club were able to keep their gem even if they don’t have complete control over his future, but now, his immediate future seems to have been decided as Como coach Cesc Fabregas has now confirmed that Paz will remain with the club in January.

The former Arsenal legend held a press conference today, on the eve of a Serie A match against Sassuolo and he addressed the recent rumors about Paz with reports from South America claiming that Nico Paz could be recalled by his parent club in the January transfer window.

Instead, Fabregas confirmed that the Argentine would not leave mid-season. “There’s nothing to say, he’s a Como player and will stay with us. Then it depends on what the other club decides. I won’t rule out that Nico stays here next season too.” Fabregas said via TMW.

“He’s ambitious, and he can have a big career in football, but why can’t he do it here at Como? He’s made us grow, and vice versa. You can see it. You can see if a person is happy from their eyes, and I think that he’s happy here right now.” He continued.

Nico Paz is under contract with Como, but Real Madrid have an option to re-sign him in the summer of 2026 or 2027. Meanwhile, tomorrow’s game against Sassuolo will offer Fabregas the chance to reunite with one of his former Chelsea teammates, Nemanja Matic.

“Nemanja is a player, in the actual meaning of the word. He great man, too,” said the Como boss. “I had one of my best seasons at Chelsea playing alongside him. He does everything well. He recovers the ball and always does the right thing. It was a gift for me to play with him, even for the way he talks, which is being lost in football these days.”

“He knows how to manage communication with the teammates. He is physically strong, but also excellent at carrying the ball or switching the play. To me, he’s an astonishing footballer, one of the best teammates I’ve had.” Fabregas had even considered bringing the experienced midfielder to Como:

“Yes, but he had a high salary at Lyon. Age had an impact, too; we thought about it, but we then picked younger players.” He further added. Como have only lost one game this season and are three points below a Champions League spot after 12 games played so far.

“We want to bring forward a project with stability, courage and create an identity. We need consistency to bring ideas forward; otherwise, the future won’t be pretty without clear ideas. For example, we look at what the Primavera coach does and how the team works, not whether they win or lose.” He concluded.
