Manchester United dream of Nico Paz, sensational rumour from England

Manchester United are reportedly interested in Como's Nico Paz as a summer target, though Real Madrid hold an €80m buyback clause on the 22-year-old Argentine playmaker.

Manchester United have identified Como playmaker Nico Paz as a summer transfer target, according to reports from the Telegraph and Sun. The 22-year-old Argentine impressed United's hierarchy during Como's 4-1 Champions League victory at the San Siro on 21 October.

Paz is under contract with Como until June 2028, but Real Madrid retain an €80m buyback clause on the player. However, Madrid's interest may be complicated by Jude Bellingham's presence in the same position at the Bernabéu, potentially opening the door for other clubs.

United see Paz as a potential long-term successor to captain Bruno Fernandes, who has rejected a second contract renewal offer and is increasingly likely to leave Old Trafford.
