Como director backs Nico Paz as Argentina No. 10 candidate

Playmaker News Desk · Oct 8, 2026

A Como director has backed Nico Paz as a possible future No. 10 for Argentina after Lionel Messi, according to an interview reported by Zhibo8. The director described Paz as a genuine talent and said he could be a suitable candidate to take on a prominent role for the national team in the next era. The comments came in a wider discussion that also touched on Como and Roma, but the focus was the midfielder’s potential with Argentina. The remarks are an opinion rather than an official selection decision, and no shirt number or squad place has been assigned. Paz’s development at club level will remain central to any future international opportunity. Argentina’s staff will decide their plans through normal selection processes, but the endorsement highlights the growing attention on a player being discussed as part of the team’s long-term transition.
