New Delhi: Real Madrid have enough firepower in their attack with the likes of Brahim Diaz, Arda Guler, Rodrygo and Jude Bellingham in the lineup playing well in the spaces of opposite midfield and defence. This is the main reason that Los Blancos had no issue with Nico Paz leaving the side and joining Serie A club Como in the summer.
The Argentina international has drawn praises as a playmaker from experts in Italian football, scoring five goals and making four assists from 21 games, playing for a side that are closer to relegation. The side is currently sitting on 15th just a point away from the relegation zone. So far, only Patrick Cutrone has got more goal contributions than the 20-year-old.
🚨 Arsenal are scouting Nico Paz ahead of a potential future transfer.

As per media outlet Tuttosport, Arsenal recently sent their scouts to monitor the Argentinian, with the Gunners coach Mikel Arteta already being known for liking Paz. They are yet to make an offer for Paz, despite knowing that Real Madrid have a buyback option in place. They are keen on having Paz with any opening possible.
Last summer Real Madrid sold Paz for €6m, having made just seven appearances for the first team but have retained a 50% sell-on fee along with a buy-back option for €9m next summer. While he may not be used in the first team much, for Madrid it would be a profitable proposition to sell Paz themselves.
This might not be good news for Arsenal, however, a glimmer of hope comes in the fact that Girona’s Miguel Gutierrez, with a similar deal, hasn’t seen a buy-back from Madrid although there have been interest for the left-back. Along with Arsenal and Real, even Inter Miami are believed to have shown interest in Paz. Arsenal’s season though mostly have been marked by a lack of striker and they are yet to sign someone as they move closer to a Premier League title.
Arsenal had earlier sent their scouts to look for Como’s attacking midfielder Nico Paz while Real Madrid could be a hurdle after their interest for a buyback. Football Sports News: Latest Cricket News, Cricket Live Score, Sports Breaking News from Sports Today
