Impact in Europe: Real Madrid will re-sign Nico Paz and he will join the team after the 2026 World Cup

The current Como midfielder, who has had a great season in Italy, will rejoin the team after his participation with the Argentine national team in the World Cup.
Real Madrid has decided to exercise the buy-back clause for Nico Paz , a strategic decision that anticipates his return after a standout season in the Italian Serie A with Como and, pending the announcement of the final list by Lionel Scaloni , his participation in the next World Cup with the Argentine national team .
According to AS , the club, chaired by Florentino Pérez, has already notified all parties involved and will thus secure the return of one of its most promising academy graduates , just a year after his transfer to Italian football. The presence of a deadline (May 30th) to exercise this contractually stipulated option underscores the urgency and determination of the Valdebebas club not to let the player slip away after his outstanding season with what has been the surprise package of Serie A in Italy.
In the transfer agreement signed during the summer of 2024, Real Madrid, Como, and Nico Paz finalized a deal that included a buy-back option, a common practice in the management of young players from the Real Madrid academy to maintain control over their futures . This clause proved crucial now, given that the competitive development of Pablo Paz 's son in the Italian league exceeded initial expectations and could even alter certain details of his return. As the sports daily points out, Real Madrid values ​​not only the player's statistics but also the potential impact he can have on the first team.
Nico Paz's potential return comes after a season in which he has played 37 official matches so far, counting his participation in Serie A and the Coppa Italia, with 13 goals and eight assists . Faced with Real Madrid's request, the Spanish club's decision forces Como and his coach Cesc Fàbregas to explore options in light of the Argentine player's imminent departure.
As detailed by the newspaper AS , the cordial relationship between the directors of both clubs has been key in recent years, with the Lombardy team successively trying to strengthen its squad with talents from Real Madrid's youth academy. The newspaper mentioned that representatives from the Italian club recently traveled to Madrid to explore the possibility of signing more young players, especially Yáñez and Fortea , who played a significant role in Real Madrid's second UEFA Youth League title . It should be noted that Yáñez made his debut with the first team, now managed by Álvaro Arbeloa .
Among the unique aspects of Nico Paz's case is the fact that when the Argentine's departure from Real Madrid was made official , the club included not only a buy-back clause but also a right of first refusal for future transfers to other clubs. This contractual model, which also applies to other players like Víctor Muñoz, gives the Real Madrid management additional control over exported talent, a strategy that minimizes the risk of promising young players joining direct rivals or slipping out of their future control.
Real Madrid is about to complete two seasons without titles : after being eliminated from the Champions League by Bayern Munich and the same in the Copa del Rey, Arbeloa's team is in second place in the Spanish league with 74 points, 11 behind leader Barcelona (85) with five matches remaining.
