It was the sensation of last season, in Italy and perhaps even in Europe. Having just arrived from Real Madrid’s B team, the young Argentine attacking midfielder quickly shone in the colors of Como. So much so that a few weeks after his arrival in Serie A, he received his first call-up to the Argentine selection, and was publicly validated by a certain Lionel Messi.
And this season is clearly one of confirmation for the player trained at La Fabrica. He continues to shine under the orders of Cesc Fabregas, with 4 goals and 4 assists in 11 transalpine championship matches. He is even involved in 66% of Como’s goals this season. However, it is not the statistical aspect that most impresses fans and observers, but his exceptional technical quality and his superior football IQ, allowing him to make incredible differences in the opposing half of the field.
He wants to finish the season at Como
Things could change for him, and very quickly. According to Defensa CentralReal Madrid could even bring him back in January. It is Xabi Alonso who would do the pushing behind the scenes, but for the moment, the player does not want to leave Como during the season. Next summer, however, the club in the Spanish capital will be able to repatriate its former player for only around ten million euros.
Recently, various English media have also mentioned strong interest from Chelsea and Tottenham for the man who should be one of Lionel Scaloni’s main assets this summer in North America. Here too, the main person concerned said no, wishing to remain loyal to his club until the end of the current financial year. Just as he had already failed Inter a few weeks ago, according to the Argentine media. See you in June then…
