Messi has talked about Nico’s unique way of thinking, which makes him stand out from other players. 

Nico has a level of awareness that is very impressive for someone his age, according to him. 

“That’s crazy and way too old for him.” “He is a very smart player, which is why he is where he is,” Messi said after Nico’s first game for his country against Bolivia last night.

Messi thinks that Nico’s strong mindset is a big part of his current success and hopes that he keeps getting better.

It was great to see him play, make his start, and get more minutes today. I hope he keeps growing and that we can keep helping him do so. 

“He will also feel at ease because we have a lot of the ball; he grew up with that and is very good,” he said.

Nico has made a lot of progress in his career since moving from Real Madrid to Como this summer to work with Cesc Fabregas. 

He has gained valuable knowledge and playing time thanks to this move, which has helped him grow as a player. 

Even though Como owns half of Nico, Real Madrid still has a lot of power over his future. The deal gives the club the right to buy the player back at any time until 2027. The club can also use this right at any time.

This setup shows that Madrid is still interested in Nico’s growth. Because of how well he has played since joining Como, it is becoming more likely that he will go back to the Spanish city.

Real Madrid probably won’t pass up on a player who has a lot of promise to become an important part of their team in the years to come. 

Because he is improving and changing his skills so quickly, he might not be long before he is back at Real Madrid, ready to make a big difference in the team’s future success.
