Real Madrid are preparing for a decisive meeting with Como today regarding the future of Argentine midfielder Nico Paz, as the Spanish giants look to activate their €9 million buyback clause.
Softfootball recently reported that Paz’s next career move would be determined within the week during crucial discussions between both clubs, with Real Madrid now ready to take the next step. The 21-year-old midfielder has enjoyed an outstanding spell at Como, impressing in Serie A and increasing his value through consistent performances.
While Real Madrid are expected to bring Paz back by triggering the buyback option, the club are also presenting Como with an opportunity to sign him permanently for around €60 million. If Como reject the proposal, the situation could attract interest from other European clubs monitoring the talented midfielder.

Paz’s development has highlighted Real Madrid’s strategy of nurturing young talents before maximizing their value in the transfer market. The Argentine, who came through Madrid’s academy, has benefited from regular first-team football at Como, helping him grow into one of Serie A’s most promising young players.
The upcoming talks could determine whether Paz returns to the Santiago Bernabéu to fight for a place in Real Madrid’s squad or continues his progress elsewhere. Either way, the situation represents another example of Madrid’s ability to identify, develop, and profit from emerging football talent.
