The Real Madrid hasn't lost sight of Nico Paz's progress. The youth player was transferred last summer to Como for about six million euros, with the white club reserving the right to receive 50% of his future sale. Not only that, but Florentino Pérez also kept an ace up his sleeve: he has a buyback clause available until 2027.
For Nico Paz to return to Real Madrid, Florentino would've to pay 9 million euros in 2025. If his return were delayed until 2026, it would be 10, and if not decided until 2027, the amount would increase to 11. There have been talks about the possible return of the Spanish-Argentine, and the president already knows his reply.
Nico Paz's Reply to Florentino's Latest Call: 'I'll Return to Madrid If...'
Defensa Central has discovered that Real Madrid hasn't yet made a decision regarding Nico Paz's return, but they are pleased with his development. He's only 20 years old and is standing out at Como, where he's getting minutes at the highest level, something he values very positively.
This is precisely what Paz demands to return to Real Madrid. Not to be systematically benched. He understands he doesn't have the status of other teammates, but if he returns, what he wants are minutes. He's at a point in his career where he needs to play regularly, something he's doing in Italy.
For now, Florentino Pérez hasn't made any decision, although it's true that Nico Paz is being analyzed by Madrid's scouts match after match. The return of the youth player is a highly valued possibility at Bernabéu, but there's time ahead: it will be possible until 2027, being closely monitored.
Madrid Keeps a Close Eye on Nico Paz
So far, Paz has become a key player for Como. He has played 14 matches this season, starting in most of them. He has scored one goal and provided four assists, being highly valued by his coach, former Spanish player Cesc Fàbregas.
Nico Paz is clear: if he returns to Madrid, he doesn't want his upward trajectory to come to a complete halt. At his age, he needs minutes and isn't sure he'll get them if he returns. Florentino Pérez knows everything and is aware of his desire.
