Real Madrid remains active in the search for reinforcements for next season. The white club is one of the most active in recent weeks, showing the board's intention to carry out a revolution in the squad. In this context, one of the names most frequently mentioned in rumors is the Argentine Nico Paz.

Como expected a quick response from Real Madrid regarding Nico Paz a few days ago. However, the Spanish club stopped the process by deciding to sign Franco Mastantuono. Como is still waiting and a response is expected in the coming weeks, announced Fabrizio Romano on "X".

Real Madrid's situation with Nico Paz

It should be remembered that Real Madrid has a buy-back option for the player for 8 million euros, as well as 50% of the rights in a future sale. These details are stipulated in the contract and, for now, the white club could activate this clause as early as this summer. Meanwhile, Como seeks to keep the player for one more season, but the final decision rests with Real Madrid, which will have to make a statement in the near future.

Real Madrid is focused on finalizing the signing of Mastantuono, whose announcement could come next week. After the arrival of this young Argentine prospect in the capital, the club will begin to define Nico Paz's future. It is not ruled out that Madrid will exercise its buy-back option for 8 million euros (€8 million) and then evaluate his situation and make a decision.

Real Madrid's options and Xabi Alonso's preference

We will be watching what happens in the coming weeks, although the final decision about the Madrid academy player's future rests with Florentino Pérez. Real Madrid has until June 30 to decide what to do with Nico Paz.

On one hand, Real Madrid could choose among three paths: buy him back and keep him, buy him back and loan him out, or not exercise the buy-back option.

Meanwhile, Xabi Alonso has reportedly informed Florentino Pérez that the option to bring Nico Paz back should be taken advantage of. The Tolosa native believes the Argentine could bring something different to the squad, although he also understands the "overbooking" in midfield.
