'There's a specific clause' - Cesc Fabregas admits Como could lose star player to Real Madrid but stresses exit is 'impossible for us to think about'

Paz joined the Italian side in the summer following their promotion to Serie A and has quickly established himself as a key player, registering three goals and assists in 18 matches.

The 20-year-old signed a four-year deal with the Lombardy club but his form has sparked reports they could end up losing him to a bigger club. Fabregas, though, insists there is no way the club will let him go.

"There’s a specific buy back clause for Nico Paz for Real Madrid, but he’s Como player," he told reporters. "If Como have no plans to sell Nico, it won’t happen. We have an agreement with Nico. It’s impossible for us to think about selling Nico Paz."

Instead of losing their star player, Como look set to add another name to their squad as Dele Alli has reportedly agreed to join on an 18-month contract.
