Argentine prospect Nico Paz marked his Serie A debut in style, setting up Tasos Douvikas and then bending a 73rd-minute free-kick into the top corner to give Como 1907 a 2–0 victory over Lazio on the opening weekend of the Italian season. The result briefly lifted the club, coached by former Spain international Cesc Fàbregas, to the top of the early standings. Paz’s performance prompted immediate transfer interest. People familiar with the matter said Tottenham Hotspur tabled a bid worth about €70 million on Sunday, but the proposal was turned down by both the player and Como, who view him as central to their campaign. Real Madrid, where the 20-year-old came through the academy, retain a €10 million buy-back option they can trigger in 2026 and are monitoring his progress.
