Confirmed: Real Madrid are close to securing a low-cost signing for the Club World Cup

The Club World Cup is causing the transfer market to speed up this season. The fact that it starts in mid-June led FIFA to open a transfer window. For now, Real Madrid seem to be taking full advantage of it.

They've already officially announced the signings of Alexander Arnold and Huijsen, who'll be in the United States. They still have another great opportunity to add a player at a reasonable price. We're referring to Nico Paz's return to Real Madrid this summer.

There has been speculation for several weeks that this return could happen. The truth is that Real Madrid haven't made the final decision yet. They'll do so in the coming days, considering whether he'll be at the Club World Cup.

It's true that at Bernabéu they see him as an option to strengthen the midfield this summer. He can take on Modric's role, as a midfielder with an attacking mindset. The Croatian will still be at the World Cup, and he'll leave when Madrid's participation ends.

Nico Paz, a signing for the future at a very affordable price for Xabi Alonso

This season, Nico Paz has been one of the biggest revelations in Serie A, playing for Como. Under Cesc Fàbregas's guidance, he's managed to showcase all his quality. To such an extent that other clubs like Inter, Juventus, or Arsenal are closely following him.

Everything is in Real Madrid's hands, as they have a preferential option to secure his signing. When they sold him last summer, they signed this clause for €8 million (€8 million). In addition, they still keep 50 percent of the young Argentine's rights.

It wouldn't be a very expensive signing, but it would guarantee a lot of quality for the future. Also, after a year in Serie A, he's gained experience to perform immediately. Xabi Alonso will have to make a decision, but it's a reinforcement that could be confirmed in the coming days.
