Nico Paz’s next career move is set to be decided this week as Real Madrid and Como prepare for a crucial meeting on Thursday regarding the Argentine midfielder’s future.
Softfootball understands that Real Madrid are considering activating their €9 million buy-back clause for the 21-year-old before potentially selling him for a significant profit.
The Spanish giants are closely monitoring the situation after Paz enjoyed a breakthrough season in Serie A, earning individual recognition and securing senior international appearances with Argentina.
However, Como remain determined to keep the talented midfielder and would like him to continue under the current agreement. Paz himself has reportedly informed Real Madrid that his preference is to stay at Como for the 2026/27 campaign, believing regular playing time will be important for his development.
The midfielder has impressed since joining the Italian side, showcasing his creativity, technical ability, and maturity beyond his age. His performances have increased his market value, giving Real Madrid an opportunity to benefit financially if they decide to trigger the clause and negotiate a future sale.
Despite Madrid’s financial advantage, Paz’s personal wishes could play a major role in the final decision. The player values his progress at Como and sees continuity as the best path for his growth.
With both clubs set to meet, the outcome of the discussions will determine whether Paz continues his rise in Italy or returns to Madrid before another potential transfer.
