Staying at Como
Como have completed the signing of Paz from Real Madrid on Monday for a €60 million transfer fee.
ANALYSIS
Paz has been a regular starter for Como in each of the last two seasons, starting in 66 of his 70 league appearances and racking up 18 goals with 14 assists. Having created 105 total chances over those two seasons and attempting over 100 shots in each campaign, Paz's role and importance at Como were expected to be huge ahead of the team's inaugural Champions League campaign, and the Argentina international will feature for them in the competition. The deal includes an option so Real Madrid can bring Paz, who's representing Argentina at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, back for the 2027/28 season, for an €80 million fee next summer, according to Sabrina Uccello and Sergio Lopez of Diario AS.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could head to England
Paz could head to the Premier League in the 2026/27 season, according to MadridXtra.
ANALYSIS
Paz isn't expected to return to Como since Real Madrid aren't interested in another loan, and the Italian club doesn't have the funds to sign the Argentina international. Thus, Real Madrid could activate the buyback clause and later sell him to a Premier League team. He's expected to be a hot commodity if made available in the summer transfer window.
