Nico Paz has directly informed Real Madrid that he wishes to remain with Como for the 2026/27 season, Softfootball understands. This comes shortly after Madrid concluded the Bernardo Silva deal, which has shifted internal planning for next season’s squad structure.
Softfootball has gathered from internal sources that Real Madrid are still in discussions regarding the best long‑term solution for Nico Paz. All parties remain in active contact as the situation continues to evolve.
Many around the club believe this gives Como real hope of retaining Nico Paz for another 12 months, especially as Madrid are leveraging a €9m buy‑back clause active in 2027, rising to €10m in 2028, alongside 50% sell‑on rights and matching rights on any future offers.
