Real Madrid Unlikely to Re-Sign Midfielder Nico Paz This Summer
Real Madrid is reportedly no longer expected to re-sign midfielder Nico Paz this summer. The Argentina international, who joined Como in Serie A in 2024, was previously considered a strong candidate for a return to the Bernabéu. New head coach Jose Mourinho is understood to not favor Paz's immediate return, which could be influenced by a lack of a clear path to the starting lineup and the anticipated arrival of Bernardo Silva. The club's next opportunity to activate the buy-back clause would be in 2027 for €10 million.
Real Madrid is reportedly no longer expected to re-sign midfielder Nico Paz this summer, despite prior speculation of his return to the club. This development comes amidst a busy transfer period for Los Blancos, who have already secured the signings of Ibrahima Konate and Denzel Dumfries.
Paz, an Argentina international, has been playing in Serie A since joining Como in 2024. Real Madrid possesses a buy-back clause for the 21-year-old, which was widely anticipated to be activated during the current transfer window.
However, according to reports, new head coach Jose Mourinho does not view Paz's immediate return favorably. This stance is believed to be a significant factor in the club's decision, potentially influenced by a lack of a clear route into the starting lineup for Paz under Mourinho, especially with the expected arrival of Bernardo Silva.
Should Real Madrid opt not to re-sign Paz this summer, their next opportunity under the existing buy-back clause would be in 2027, at a reported cost of €10 million. The current decision allows Paz to continue his development at Como, which is set to participate in next season's Champions League.
