Real Madrid are set to bring back Nico Paz this summer after deciding to activate a buy-back clause following his strong performances in Italy.
The Spanish club have until May 30 to complete the move, but local reports indicate the decision has already been made, with the midfielder expected to rejoin the squad ahead of next season.
Paz, who joined Como in 2024, has emerged as one of the standout players in Serie A this campaign. His development has convinced Madrid to act early and reinforce their midfield options.
The deal is understood to be worth around nine million euros, a figure agreed as part of the original transfer. It represents a low risk move for Madrid, who regain a player now considered ready for top level football.
Beyond the immediate impact, the transfer could strengthen ties between the two clubs. Como are reportedly monitoring several young prospects from Madrid’s academy setup, including players such as Yanez and Fortea, as part of a potential ongoing pathway.
For Madrid, the return of Paz is both a sporting and strategic decision. The club are looking to add depth while responding to recent criticism, and the 20-year-old offers both current quality and long term potential.
