Fabrizio Romano reports that Nico Paz was named Serie A’s best young player for 2025/26 after scoring 12 goals and providing 7 assists last season.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Nico Paz has been named Serie A’s best young player for the 2025/26 season.
Romano also points out the form that earned him the award: last season in Serie A he recorded 12 goals and 7 assists. A numbers-heavy campaign that’s now recognized with a league honor.
A big season rewarded
The report adds transfer context from this summer: the club paid €60 million to sign him, raising expectations around the player from the start.
Champions League first time
On top of the individual success, there’s a major team milestone. Romano notes that the club are making their first-ever appearance in the Champions League, meaning Paz’s breakthrough now comes with the European stage waiting.
At 21 years old (born in 2004), the Serie A award reads like more than a trophy—it’s a signal of where his trajectory could go next, especially with Europe on the horizon.
