Things are happening at Real Madrid. While Xabi Alonso’s men have not won in three matches – a defeat against Liverpool (1-0) then two draws against Vallecano (0-0) and Elche (2-2) – the Madrid management is already looking for change. Especially if Vinicius Junior is not expected to stay forever in the Spanish capital.
As a result, the club is already preparing for the future. According to information from journalist Fabrizio Romano, an expert on the subject, Nico Paz is designated as the priority target for 2026.
It must be said that the 21-year-old Argentinian midfielder is impressing in Italy. He is one of the great architects of Como’s (6th) good form in Serie A, as evidenced by his five goals and four assists in thirteen games this season.
The player has agreed
Still according to Fabrizio Romano, the player “already said yes. » It now remains to be seen when and in what form this transfer will be successful. The newspaper Marca advances that Real
“has no intention of bringing Nico Paz back in January. The objective is to find an agreement with Como in the coming weeks to ensure the Argentinian’s return in the summer. »
Same story with the Italian journalist, who also explains that “the buyout clause is not valid in January”and that the team coached by Cesc Fabregas wishes to retain the young talent “until summer. » As a reminder, Nico Paz was trained in Madrid between 2016 and 2024, wearing the white tunic 8 times, before being transferred to Italy for six million euros last year. The total cost of the operation would be around nine million euros, in the form of a buyout clause in the summer of 2026. A real bargain, while Transfermarkt values the player at 55 million euros.
