The Real Madrid doesn't plan to make many moves next transfer market, but the few they make, they want to be successful. Everyone considers the arrival of Trent Alexander-Arnold a done deal, whose contract with Liverpool ends next June 30. The Englishman will be the big signing of the summer, but it will require a significant outlay, as, although he will be free, he won't come for free by any means.
A 'creative' for the Real Madrid
Recently, OKDiario, a media outlet directed by Eduardo Inda, has revealed the roadmap that the merengue club has for the next market. Beyond Arnold, the plan is to incorporate a "creative midfielder" to raise the level of the midfield. They are scouring the market for a footballer who brings quality and creativity: they are not thinking of a Kroos, because it's impossible, but rather someone who makes a difference.
The mentioned information points to the name of Nico Paz, a youth player who now plays for Como, whose progress is followed "with attention" the progress of the Argentine midfielder. Nothing is decided, and they're "studying" his return to Real Madrid but it is true that he has a set price. It wouldn't require a large outlay and there is a buyback clause in his contract, valued at 8M for this 2025.
Eduardo Inda points to Nico Paz: The state of his return
Nico Paz headed to Como last summer for 6.5 million euros, with Madrid reserving 50% of his rights. In this regard, the whites have the possibility to buy him back over the next three years. The amounts would be 8M, 9M, and 10M (2025, 2026, and 2027).
The main problem with the Argentine international is that his excellent performance with Como has sparked the interest of several clubs. Among them is Inter, an Italian Serie A rival. Fàbregas doesn't want Nico Paz to head to one of their 'enemies.' In a recent meeting with Ancelotti, he conveyed his desire for him to continue one more season with him.
The Argentine seems to intend to leave Como when the season ends and would look favorably on his return to Real Madrid. In any case, what Nico Paz wants are guarantees of playing time. He doesn't ask for a starting position by any means, but he hopes to have importance in the squad to avoid stagnation.
Real Madrid is studying his case carefully, although an imminent decision is not expected. Nico Paz will finish the season in Italy and, afterwards, it will be seen.
