Real Madrid Confidencial Nico Paz sends a message to Florentino and Real Madrid, puts the rumors to rest
'Real Madrid? Whatever has to happen, let it happen...', the Argentine stated upon his arrival with the national team regarding his return
Nico Paz has broken his silence. The talented Argentine midfielder, currently at Italian side Como, has spoken about his possible return to Real Madrid. His words have surprised many.
"Madrid? Whatever has to happen will happen..." the player stated in an interview with Sport Center, right after arriving at the training camp with his national team. This statement has helped cool down the rumors.
Madrid has the option to bring him back
The white club keeps a preferential option to bring the footballer back for €8 million. This clause could be exercised this summer if the sporting management, now under Xabi Alonso, decides so.
Nico Paz has completed a great season in the Italian Serie A with Como, where he has been under Cesc Fàbregas's orders. In total, he has played 35 matches, scored 6 goals, and provided 9 assists.
His performance has attracted the interest of other European clubs. But Madrid remains his priority... as long as he has a relevant role in the team.
He doesn't want to return just to sit on the bench
This is the main point holding back his return. Nico wants to know what his role would be if he returns to Santiago Bernabéu. After a season as a starter and key player in Italy, he doesn't want to come back just to stay on the bench.
The club understands his position. They know he needs minutes to keep growing. However, they also value his quality, versatility, and vision of the game. That's why they don't rule out including him in the squad for the Club World Cup, which will take place this summer in the United States.
Meanwhile, the footballer is focused on his national team. He doesn't want to talk about transfers or the market. He prefers to enjoy the present and let his entourage handle the details.
"I'm calm. First vacation and then we'll see," he insisted.
A clear and direct message. He doesn't rule anything out, but he also doesn't let himself be pressured.
Real Madrid will have to decide soon. Nico Paz has already made his position clear.
Now, the ball is in Florentino's court.
