Nico Paz already knows it, Real Madrid makes a decision about activating its signing

After an excellent season at Como, many rumors have emerged about Nico Paz's future. With a buy-back clause, Real Madrid has the opportunity to bring Nico back to its squad. However, after several months of uncertainty, Real Madrid decided to activate this clause until next summer.

With the value rising from €8 million to €9 million, Nico will remain for one more season in Serie A. This is a situation that greatly benefits the squad led by Cesc Fàbregas. Establishing himself as one of Como's key figures, Fàbregas will be able to continue with a project that this season managed to keep its place in Serie A.

Given the signings Real Madrid has made in this transfer window, Nico won't be able to develop in the same way as at Como. The midfielder, who is just 20 years old, will have the opportunity to keep growing at a club where he is a key player.

Securing the future

Real Madrid's youth academy has spent several years developing many of the world's best players. Nico Paz is one of the best examples of this, with Como taking a leap in quality after his arrival. Having played in the Madrid youth academy since 2014, Nico quickly rose through the youth football, the juveniles, and reached Castilla in 2023.

Despite the matches he managed to play with the first team, his performance at Como has shown that his signing was the best decision. Six goals and nine assists in 35 matches played are the statistics Nico recorded at Como in just his first campaign.

Even so, with Xabi Alonso's tactics placing Güler in the midfield, Nico's return was complicated. From fighting for minutes at Real Madrid to being able to keep improving his skills, Nico has a great opportunity ahead of next season.

The summer of discord

By resolving the situation with Nico Paz, Real Madrid can now handle more operations on its list. The signing of Carreras and another center-back remain priorities to ensure the success of next season and Xabi's project.
