Como qualify for Champions League, retain Nico Paz

Serie A club Como secured a Champions League berth for the first time in its history. The achievement strengthens the club’s ability to retain Argentine midfielder Nico Paz for the 2024‑25 season. Real Madrid previously declined an approach for Paz, a decision that now appears justified. The Champions League spot gives Como new leverage in contract talks with Paz. Keeping Paz fits the club’s plan to compete in Europe. Nico Paz is an Argentine midfielder who joined Como last season. He has repeatedly indicated a willingness to stay with the Italian side. Real Madrid’s refusal to sign Paz highlights the player’s preference for continuity at Como. Como will take Paz into its upcoming Champions League campaign. The club will aim to make a strong debut in the tournament.
