Paz's impressive performances in the opening month of the season were a key factor in his selection for the inaugural U-23 award of the 2025/26 season. His on-field contributions have not only delighted Como fans but have also reaffirmed the faith of Real Madrid, who have long-term plans for the player.
The Spanish giants, who retain a buy-back clause for Paz effective from 2026, reportedly played a key role in blocking a massive €70 million offer from Tottenham during the transfer window. This move highlights Real Madrid's belief in the young star's potential, as they continue to view his development at Como as a vital step before a planned return to the Bernabéu.
Paz's award solidifies his status as one of Europe's most promising young talents and sets a high bar for his performances for the remainder of the season.
