Real Madrid Confidencial As gets serious about Nico Paz: €70M or nothing
The Italian team wants to keep its top star at all costs
Just a few days ago, Nico Paz left the door open to returning to Real Madrid in the future. In a recent interview, the footballer was very clear: "A closed chapter at Real Madrid? You never know that", he commented.
"I'm focused on Como with the project that's here... I have no idea about the future", Nico Paz added. With these words, the Argentine admitted that, if Real Madrid made an offer, he would return home without a second thought.
This nod to Real Madrid hasn't gone unnoticed: the club keeps several important clauses regarding his future in force. It holds a buy-back option, estimated at around €9 million (about $9.7 million), as well as rights to 50% of a future sale. Moreover, from the Madridist environment, they keep a close eye on his development, valuing his versatility and progress at Como.
Como wants to keep Nico Paz
At the Italian club, Cesc Fàbregas has made Nico Paz a key piece of the team. In fact, the Serie A side is turning down offers from abroad with the goal of keeping him for one more season.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid hasn't lost sight of that potential future. According to some sources, the return of Nico Paz could be an interesting option. However, his return hasn't been considered for the current season.
However, Real Madrid, in addition to having a cheaper buy option, can also decide whether Como sells the player or not. At this moment, Tottenham is the club pushing the hardest for Nico Paz, although the response has been clear: €70 million (about $75.5 million) or he won't leave Italy this year.
Tottenham keep pushing for Nico Paz
After James Maddison's serious injury, which will keep him out all season, Tottenham have set to work to find a great replacement. The main target is Nico Paz, but everything suggests that the purchase by Daniel Levy's club will be complex.
Meanwhile, at Real Madrid, they keep a close eye on Nico Paz's level. The club receives constant evaluations of the player, so if he has a season similar to the last, we could see him in white again in the 26/27 season.
