Como have rejected a bid worth €40m from Tottenham Hotspur for attacker Nico Paz, as they value the ex-Real Madrid man much higher.
Club legend Heung-min Son has left the club for LAFC and attacking midfield star James Maddison is set to miss the majority of the upcoming season with a ruptured ACL.
Spurs tried to bring in Bryan Mbeumo, who chose Manchester United, and Yoane Wissa, who is now linked with a move to Saudi Arabia.
However, with less than a month to go in the summer window, Spurs are getting active to bring in attacking players.
Mohammed Kudus has been signed for big money, but Thomas Frank wants more attack-minded players at his disposal.
An offer of €40m for Paz from Tottenham ‘has been rejected’, according to Italian broadcaster Sky Italia.
It has been suggested that Como turned down the €40m bid for the Argentinian, who they value at a massive €70m.

Cesc Fabregas’ side paid a measly €6m last summer to Real Madrid, but Paz’s performances in his first season in Italy have made him a desirable target.
He is a senior Argentina international and he scored six goals and provided nine assists in 35 appearances in the previous campaign.
The 20-year-old’s contract does not run out until the summer of 2028, and it puts Como in a good position to demand a massive fee for the highly-rated attacker.
Paz is primarily an attacking midfielder, but he is comfortable playing as a striker or a winger when needed.
It remains to be seen if Spurs will go back with an improved offer for the ex-Galactico, who Como are demanding a massive fee for in the ongoing window.
Stuttgart attacker Enzo Millot, who is on his way to Saudi outfit Al Ahli, was also on Tottenham’s list.
