Nico Paz could deliver a major surprise: Open negotiations between Como and Real Madrid

During last summer, one of the most notable departures from Real Madrid was Nico Paz's move to Como. A move that, one season later, has been described as a complete success. Such has been Nico's impact at Como that, according to what we know at Defensa Central, the Italian club is looking to buy the Argentine's rights.

After his departure from Real Madrid, the club kept 50% of his rights plus several buy-back clauses. Although the 20-year-old midfielder was rumored to return to Real Madrid this summer, nothing was finalized. Even with the buy-back clause that the club still has, Como is working to keep Nico Paz.

Como's owner, Mirwan Suwarso, has stated that there have already been meetings to discuss this matter. Recognizing that these have taken time, Nico's stay is a possibility. Real Madrid could end up saying goodbye to its talented youth player.

Como's desire

Trained in Real Madrid's youth academy since 2016, Nico Paz didn't take long to stand out. From the youth system, Nico went through all the youth teams until he managed to become part of Castilla during the summer of 2023. Under Raúl González Blanco's orders, Nico began to develop qualities that he has continued to improve.

Given the lack of space in Real Madrid's squad, Nico decided to trust Como's project. A wise decision after the great season he had. With 6 goals and 9 assists in 2,950 yds. (2,695 m), Nico was one of the revelations of Serie A.

The team led by Cesc Fàbregas achieved its goal of keeping its place in Serie A thanks to Nico. Despite his young age, the Argentine has become a true reference for Como. That's why, given its objectives for next season, the club considers it essential to secure his stay.

Trust in Nico

Although nothing has been finalized yet, Como is determined to have all of Nico Paz's rights. This shows not only the importance but also the trust the Italian club has in the player.
