Last summer saw the unexpected departure of Nico Paz from Real Madrid. Faced with a lack of space in the first team, the Real Madrid youth player was signed by Italian side Como.
Still, the white club maintained a buyback option due to the confidence that Nico would be Ceballos' replacement .
However, the midfielder has clearly been in a slump in form over the last few games . Having made a great start to the season, Nico's return to Real Madrid is close to being ruled out.

Nico's future
Nico has been training in the Real Madrid youth system since 2016 when he joined the Youth System. He was one of the club's great prospects . His performances with the first team earned him Ancelotti's trust. However, his current form has shown that he is still far from the level of a team like Real Madrid.
Despite having played 979 minutes this season, Como's situation has ended up affecting him . Being in the relegation zone, the team managed by Cesc Fàbregas finds itself in a rather critical situation. Although Nico has managed to establish himself as an undisputed starter, his performances haven't been enough to achieve victory.
The Italian squad's poor form has raised some doubts at Real Madrid about Nico's level . Considering that the 20-year-old still lacks experience, his return to the Merengue squad next transfer market is increasingly distant.

A change of situation
Given the possibility of not returning to Real Madrid, the only thing left for Nico to do is to improve his level for the next matches . If he manages to save the team from the relegation zone, the midfielder's name could return to the Merengue orbit.
It is still too early to determine Nico's future, but it is undeniable that his situation needs an urgent change. With the opportunity of returning to Real Madrid in mind, the player will do everything possible to achieve this goal.
