Como president Mirwan Suwarso has indicated the club are awaiting a decision from Real Madrid regarding the loan of midfielder Nico Paz. Suwarso made the comments during the Festival della Serie A in Parma, offering an update on the Argentinian’s future with the Serie A side.
Paz joined Como on loan from Real Madrid in the summer transfer window, quickly becoming a regular feature in the team. The 19-year-old has made 15 appearances across all competitions for Como, contributing with one assist and demonstrating promising performances in midfield. His loan deal does not include an option to buy, meaning any permanent move would require further negotiation with the Spanish giants.
Suwarso also addressed broader transfer ambitions for Como, mentioning players like Cambiaso and Chiesa as potential targets, but acknowledged their price tags were beyond the club’s current range. He stated Como are “looking at many players” but remain realistic about their financial limitations. The club’s rapid ascent and ambitious ownership have led to speculation about significant investment, but Suwarso’s comments suggest a cautious approach to high-profile signings.
Como have enjoyed a remarkable season following their promotion to Serie A, exceeding expectations and currently challenging for a European place. Suwarso also playfully suggested the team could even contend for the Scudetto, though he emphasized a focus on taking each game as it comes. The president’s comments reflect the club’s ambition and positive momentum.
Ultimately, Paz’s future remains in the hands of Real Madrid, who will assess his development and Como’s progress before making a decision on whether to extend the loan or recall him to Spain. The situation highlights Como’s growing appeal as a destination for young talent seeking regular first-team football, and could lead to further loan agreements with top European clubs.
