Nico Paz

Key strength: Vision and passing

Creative playmaker

Perched on the shores of Lake Como, something extraordinary is unfolding. Como 1907, sitting proudly in 3rd place in Serie A, have become the season's most captivating story—and at its heart beats Nico Paz. The 21-year-old Argentine attacking midfielder has been nothing short of revelatory, tallying 9 goals and 6 assists across 27 appearances, delivering a goal contribution every 149 minutes. With Como surging on an eight-point haul from their last five matches (W-W-W-D-L), Paz has been the architect of this ascent. Operating as the team's creative fulcrum, he weaves intricate patterns through defenses with vision that belies his years, before arriving late in the box to finish moves himself. His creative partnership with Martin Baturina forms one of Italy's most dynamic midfield duos, yet Paz distinguishes himself as the more prolific goal threat. At €11 million, his market value already feels like a bargain. For a club defined by ambitious, intelligent recruitment, the Argentine embodies everything Como 1907 is building: young, fearless, and relentlessly effective.
