Fabrizio Romano reports that Como have rejected another Tottenham offer for Nico Paz, worth €70m, so Real Madrid will ‘compensate’ if they bring the Argentine back to the Bernabeu next

Nico Paz set up one goal and scored a stunning second as Como kicked off its Serie A season with a 2-0 win over Lazio on Sunday. Cesc Fabregas’ team broke the deadlock less than two minutes into the second half when Nico Paz gathered the ball inside his own half and feinted past a Lazio player before threading an impressive through ball for Tasos Douvikas to run onto and fire past Ivan Provedel.

Tottenham’s pursuit of Nico Paz faces a roadblock as Como rejects their latest transfer offer. Tottenham Hotspur have intensified their efforts to sign 20-year-old midfielder Nico Paz from Serie A club Como 1907. After an initial €50 million bid was rejected, Spurs increased their offer to €70 million, including add-ons.
