Nico Paz Turned Down Mourinho to Stay at Como for More Minutes
Nico Paz told José Mourinho in a video call he loves Real Madrid but chose another season at Como to play every week instead of sitting on the bench.
New details have emerged about a conversation between Como midfielder Nico Paz and José Mourinho last summer. According to reports, the pair spoke over a video call about the Argentine returning to Real Madrid, but Paz opted to remain with the Serie A side.
Nico Paz's honest answer to Mourinho
During the call, Paz made it clear that he has a deep affection for Real Madrid and great respect for Mourinho. Even so, he explained that he wanted at least one more season at Como. For the young midfielder, playing in every match and continuing his development mattered more than spending his weekends as a substitute at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Why Como made sense for Paz
Paz came through Real Madrid's academy before leaving the Spanish giants, and he has since grown into one of the standout players in Italy's top flight with Como. Regular minutes in Serie A have given him the platform to prove himself at the highest level. His decision shows a player prioritising game time over a place in a squad packed with stars, though a future return to Madrid remains a storyline worth watching.
