Nico Paz has been called up for the first time with the senior Argentina team for the 2026 World Cup qualifying matches against Venezuela and Bolivia. Lionel Messi has returned to Scaloni’s team after being sidelined with injury during the last international break.
The good start to the season he is having at Cesc Fàbregas’ Como has earned Nico Paz, 20, a call from the Argentine coach. The former Real Madrid player, who made his debut in the first team last season, packed his bags for Serie A in search of opportunities that Carlo Ancelotti could hardly give him.
Nico Paz, considered one of the greatest talents produced by the Factory in recent times, left for Como in exchange for 6 million euros for 50% of his rights. The white club has a buyback option until 2027.
Born in Santa Cruz de Tenerife and the son of former Argentina player Pablo Paz, Nico Paz has always expressed his desire to play for Argentina. Javier Mascherano’s U-20 team called him up in 2023 but could not participate in the World Cup in the category because Madrid did not give him permission.
