Real Madrid's 3-0 defeat against Arsenal at Emirates Stadium has left a mark. The image of the Merengues is affected, and the fans are preparing for what is to come in the return leg, where Santiago Bernabéu will be the stage for a possible comeback. Despite the tough defeat, the focus is on the upcoming transfer market.
Need to Strengthen
The summer of 2025 is shaping up to be a key period for Real Madrid, which will seek to strengthen several positions, especially the midfield. With the need to add quality and freshness to the midfield, the Madrid sports management is evaluating options for the future.
According to Tuttomercato, the club could take advantage of a buyback option secured for only 9 million euros, which would make this signing an attractive and economical operation. Undoubtedly, a smart move that could add to the team's long-term project.
A Signing with a Future
The name that resonates the most in Bernabéu's offices is Nico Paz, who is showing in Italy that he has enormous potential. Currently playing at Como in Serie A, he has been one of the great revelations of the championship.
His coach, Cesc Fàbregas, has highlighted his quality on several occasions, referring to him as a player who makes a difference. Paz has been key for the team and has been growing match by match, which has made many big clubs start to keep an eye on him.
Nico Paz's Desire
Nico Paz himself has not hidden his desire to return to Real Madrid. The footballer, who grew up in the white academy, dreams of wearing the Merengue jersey again. However, he is clear that his return should not be just for the sake of returning, but because he can have important minutes in the first team.
In his statements, the player has made it clear that his priority is to have playing time, something essential for his development.
Ancelotti's Influence and Madrid's Future
Nico Paz's future is also linked to Carlo Ancelotti's. The Italian coach, although currently in charge of Madrid, doesn't have his continuity secured for the next season.
The club's future coach will have a direct impact on the type of signings made. If Ancelotti stays, he could play an essential role in the decision to bring Paz back. However, it is also possible that the next coach has other plans.
