Nico Paz will return to Real Madrid, as the club has informed Como that they will activate the buy-back clause, according to reports by Diario AS.
The decision has already been communicated to the Italian club, even though the clause can officially be triggered until the end of May. Real Madrid had included this option when Paz moved to Como, and now they have chosen to bring him back for the 2026/27 season.
Paz has had a strong season in Serie A and became one of Como’s most important players. His performances, with goals and assists throughout the campaign, helped the team fight near the top of the table and drew attention from Real Madrid.
The reported fee for the buy-back is around €9 million, a relatively low amount considering his current level and development in Italy.
This type of move is part of Real Madrid’s strategy with young players. The club often sells players but keeps control through buy-back clauses, allowing them to bring them back after gaining experience.
Paz has also earned regular call-ups with Argentina, and his current form puts him in a strong position ahead of the next World Cup.
