Paz played a few games with the Real Madrid first team, but decided to join Italy last summer to give itself more opportunities.
However, the Merengues had no doubt about their desire to keep control over the future of Paz and his talent. Como finalized the transfer for 6 million euros last summer, but Real has a transfer compensation of 50 % and a buyout option of 8 million euros. It was reported in March that Madrid intended to activate this option, but more recent information said that he has not yet made his decision concerning the 20 -year -old. Como coach, Cesc Fabregas, also confirmed the interest of Real Madrid for Paz.
Xabi Alonso made his decision on Paz
Diario AS also reports that Real Madrid has decided to bring PAZ back. His six goals and nine assists in 35 appearances have proven that he could pierce at the highest level, and Paz has already made his debut with Argentina. Real Madrid still plans to recruit a more defensive midfielder, to compensate for the loss of Toni Kroos, while the arrival of PAZ will more precisely compensate for the departure of Luka Modric.
Nico Paz towards a return
Paz is expected to arrive before the club World Cup, and he will be the third player in the workforce that Real Madrid let go before bringing him back, after Dani Carvajal and Fran Garcia.
At this stage, the approach and configuration of Xabi Alonso remain uncertain, and it is therefore difficult to predict the role of Paz. It should be noted that Paz and Arda Guller will offer Alonso talented young players, and some wonder if they will both be able to benefit from playing time.
