Real Madrid are planning to bring back Nico Paz in 2026, according to Fabrizio Romano. The club chose not to trigger their €9m buyback this summer, which rises to €10m next year, allowing Paz to develop further at Como. Despite competition from Arda Guler and Franco Mastantuono, Madrid still see him as part of their long-term plans.
When the summer transfer window closed, Real Madrid chose not to exercise their €9 million buyback clause for young Argentine playmaker Nico Paz, currently on loan at Serie A side Como. Instead, the club opted to let him continue his development in Italy after a promising debut campaign, where regular playing time has been crucial for his growth. That decision came despite reported interest from English clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur, though no official offers were received.
The plan, according to Fabrizio Romano, is for Los Blancos to bring Paz back to the Santiago Bernabeu in 2026, with the buyback option rising slightly to €10 million next summer. The timing reflects the club’s crowded midfield picture, with recent big-money signings Arda Guler and Franco Mastantuono already competing for minutes under Xabi Alonso.
Real Madrid views Paz as part of their long-term project, but integrating all three playmakers immediately may have hampered his progress. Meanwhile, continuity at Como benefits Paz not only in terms of experience but also in his bid to secure a spot in Argentina’s 2026 World Cup squad. For now, Real Madrid are patient, confident that bringing him back at the right time will maximize both his potential and the team’s balance.
