According to a report by Football London on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, Nico Paz maintained his excellent form for Como by scoring a goal and registering an assist in their 3-1 Serie A victory over Torino on Tuesday, October 27, 2026.
The Argentine midfielder played a crucial role in helping Como overcome an early setback and secure all three points. His impressive performance comes amid continued links with Chelsea, who are reportedly considering a move for the talented playmaker.
Reports indicate that Chelsea are closely monitoring Paz as they assess potential transfer opportunities. The 22-year-old has attracted interest from several prominent European clubs thanks to his ability to score goals, create opportunities and influence matches in the attacking third.
Como initially fell behind when Che Adams found the net for Torino in the 24th minute. The home side struggled to respond before half-time but returned from the break with renewed determination as they pursued an equaliser.
Paz helped Como get back on level terms by delivering a cross that Jacobo Ramon headed into the net. The midfielder then completed the comeback himself, scoring in the 86th minute to give his team the lead.
Martin Baturina subsequently added a third goal late in the match, sealing an important victory for Cesc Fabregas' side.
The result extended Paz's impressive run of performances. Earlier in October, he also scored and provided an assist in Como's 3-1 triumph over Fiorentina. He then produced another outstanding display, recording two goals and an assist in Como's 4-1 Champions League victory over Manchester United.
His consistent contributions have further increased interest in the young Argentine, who joined Como from Real Madrid in 2024.
However, securing his services could be difficult for Chelsea. Real Madrid reportedly have a buyback clause that could enable them to re-sign the midfielder in 2027, potentially complicating any transfer negotiations.
For Chelsea, Paz's continued development in Italy makes him a player worth monitoring as they evaluate their options ahead of future transfer windows.
