Not that we needed it, but today, Nico Paz once again showed all his quality in a super match against Fiorentina. The Argentine also scored a beautiful goal in the second half of Como‘s away win, beating De Gea with an unstoppable left-footed trajectory.
Due to his incredible season so far, his name continues to resonate loudly in the transfer market. Not only with Real Madrid, the club that nurtured him and where he aspires to return one day, but also for other big clubs that are tracking him. Among these is Inter, who, taking advantage of the friendship between Javier Zanetti and his father Pablo, has already had more than one conversation with the young man.
Shattering Inter’s hopes, as reported by Fabrizio Romano, could be the deal with which Real Madrid lent Nico Paz to Como last summer. In addition to a 50% share in any future sale, the blancos arranged an intricate buy-back clause. The Spaniards will in fact have three different buy-back clauses for each of the next three transfer windows.
Specifically, the renowned journalist reported that Real can bring Nico Paz back to Madrid in the summer of 2025 for 8 million euros. If they choose to wait until the summer of 2026, they will instead have to pay Como 9 million, or they will have one last chance to bring him back home in 2027 for 10 million. According to the latest news from Spain, the Argentine should return already next June.
Last but not least, once bought back, it is not ruled out that Real Madrid may want to sell him immediately if a significant offer is made for two reasons: to achieve a huge capital gain on a player who has come through their own youth ranks, and also because of the high competition within Carlo Ancelotti’s squad in the forward department.
