Last season, he made quite an impact in Italy, and possibly across Europe. After arriving from Real Madrid’s B team, the young Argentine midfielder quickly showcased his talent at Como. Just weeks later, he received his first call-up to the Argentine national team and earned praise from Lionel Messi.
This season is proving to be a pivotal one for the player trained at La Fabrica. Under the guidance of Cesc Fabregas, he has scored 4 goals and provided 4 assists in 11 league matches. He has been involved in 66% of Como’s goals this season. However, it’s not just the statistics that impress fans and analysts; it’s his exceptional technical ability and high football IQ, which allow him to make significant impacts in the opponent’s half.
He Wants to Finish the Season at Como
Changes could be on the horizon for him, and swiftly. According to Defensa Central, Real Madrid may look to bring him back as soon as January. Xabi Alonso is reportedly pushing for this behind the scenes, but for now, the player wishes to stay with Como for the remainder of the season. However, next summer, the Spanish capital club could reacquire their former player for around 10 million euros.
Recently, various English media outlets have also highlighted interest from Chelsea and Tottenham in this promising talent, who is expected to be a key player for Lionel Scaloni in North America this summer. Again, the player has declined these offers, wanting to remain loyal to his club until the season concludes, just as he rebuffed interest from Inter a few weeks ago, according to Argentine reports. Fans will have to wait until June for further developments.
