According to a report by AS, Real Madrid continues to monitor rising star Nico Paz closely after the young midfielder once again impressed in Serie A with Italian club Como.
Despite Real Madrid’s decision this summer not to sign any new midfielders against coach Xabi Alonso’s advice the club’s interest in Paz remains strong.
Paz, who left Real Madrid just over a year ago due to limited first-team opportunities, has been making waves in Italy.
In Como’s recent 1-1 draw against Genoa, Paz scored a spectacular goal that momentarily put his team ahead.
The goal showcased his technical ability and power, as he received the ball in midfield, skillfully evaded his opponent, and unleashed a powerful left-footed shot that beat goalkeeper Nicola Leali.
This performance has reignited excitement among Real Madrid fans and the club’s hierarchy alike.
As reported by Defensa Central* Paz remains firmly on Real Madrid’s radar for a future signing.
The club retains 50% of his rights and holds an option to re-sign him, with a right of first refusal should Como receive an offer. His contract with Como runs until 2028.
Real Madrid could potentially bring Paz back next summer for around nine million euros, rising to ten million in 2027 an affordable price given his evident potential.
The Spanish-Argentine midfielder has already debuted with the Argentine national team and is poised to be called up for the upcoming World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
Paz’s continued development and recent performances suggest that Real Madrid’s patience may soon pay off, as the club looks to bolster its midfield options with a talented player familiar with the club’s philosophy.
