Como 1907 has just completed a sensational double, sealing its first ever Champions League spot in the 2025‑2026 Serie A campaign and immediately turning that momentum into a market‑shaping move.
The club announced that it has re‑signed midfielder Nico Paz from Real Madrid for a fee of €60 million, a figure that dwarfs the €9 million, €10 million and €11 million re‑sign rights that Madrid held over three summers.
Paz turned down a €70 million proposal from Tottenham Hotspur, citing a desire for regular starting minutes and the chance to compete in Europe’s premier competition, a factor that ultimately swayed him toward the Lombardy side.
Club president Mirwan Suwarso explained that the acquisition is part of a broader ambition to diversify revenue streams, investing in hospitality, merchandising and retail as the club looks beyond the pitch.
Coach Cesc Fabregas, widely regarded as one of the most promising young managers, highlighted that Paz’s playing style aligns perfectly with his tactical vision, promising an exciting brand of football for the fans.
The deal not only reinforces Como’s sporting ambitions but also signals a shift toward a multi‑revenue model, positioning the club as a growing enterprise in Italian football.
