Revealed, Madrid will sign a midfielder and could play in the Club World Cup

Real Madrid is determined to strengthen the midfield this summer. The sports management is already working on it and wants to finalize an addition before the Club World Cup, which will be played in the United States.

With Luka Modric's possible departure and doubts about Dani Ceballos, the club needs a new piece for the midfield. Everything points to Nico Paz being the chosen one.

Nico Paz, the most realistic option

The Argentine midfielder has excelled in his first season at Como and has caught the attention of the coaching staff. His return is not confirmed, but it is the most viable option at the moment.

Real Madrid is considering activating his buy-back clause, set at 8 million euros. An affordable price for the club that would allow them to strengthen the midfield without complications.

Nico knows the club, has matured during his time in Italy, and would fit well into Xabi Alonso's new project, who appreciates his versatility and ability to reach the area.

The club doesn't rule out including him in the Club World Cup list, although his participation will depend on the date he joins Real Madrid's preseason before the competition.

Internal and low-cost solution

Instead of going for high-priced names, Real Madrid could opt for an internal solution, with a young profile and room for growth.

The possible departure of Modric, combined with the current midfielders' overload of minutes, makes Nico Paz's return strategic.

Unlike other market operations, his signing would be immediate. It doesn't require long negotiations or complicated adaptations. His age allows him to occupy an under-23 spot, which eases the number of licenses.

Everything is pending a decision in the coming weeks. But within the club, there is confidence in finalizing his return soon so he can be available for the international tournament.

If there are no surprises, Nico Paz could return to Real Madrid this summer and strengthen the team during one of the most demanding stretches of the calendar.
