ATTENTION: Real Madrid has not had the final say on Nico Paz

Nico Paz has become one of the most delicate folders within the Real Madrid transfer market for the next season. The 21-year-old Argentine midfielder is currently focused with Argentina in World Cup 2026, but his future will be resolved away from the tournament, in a key meeting scheduled in Madrid.

Como 1907, the club where he has fully developed, does not want to lose him. The Italian club is planning a trip to the Spanish capital to persuade Real Madrid not to activate their immediate buy-back option and, above all, not to put him on the market for a figure close to 60 million euros.

Nico Paz does not want to return to Real Madrid just yet

Nico Paz's case is special because the player maintains a clear connection with the white club, but currently prioritizes his development. His message has reportedly reached the Bernabéu offices: he does not see a clear return this summer.

The reason is sports-related. At Como, he has found continuity, confidence, and a central role within a project that will compete in the Champions League. For a player of his age, feeling important weighs as much as returning to a squad filled with stars.

As reported by MundoDeportivo, Real Madrid had an almost irresistible economic opportunity on the table. Bringing him back for around 9 million euros represents a clear chance, especially considering his increased market value after a brilliant season in Italy.

Como 1907 seeks to secure its major star

Como 1907 knows they are facing a complex negotiation. The Italian club does not fully control the player's future since Madrid retains 50% of his rights, a low buy-back clause, and decision-making power regarding a potential future sale.

Nevertheless, in Italy, they believe there is room for negotiation. Como's intention would be to request another season of continuity or to revisit the agreement so that Nico Paz remains at the club for several years, even if that involves improving the conditions agreed upon with the white team.

The player's stance strengthens that strategy. If the Argentine insists on staying in Serie A, Real Madrid will have to decide whether to push for his return, agree to extend his time in Italy, or execute the buy-back to make a profit in the market.

Inter Milan enters the scene for Nico Paz

The major threat to Como comes in the form of Inter Milan. The neroazzurri have been monitoring the attacking midfielder for a while and are ready to act if Madrid decides to buy and immediately sell him.

The estimated amount revolves around 60 million euros, a sum that would explain Madrid's maneuver. Real Madrid could pay a reduced amount, regain control of the player, and earn a significant profit within weeks.

For Como, this scenario would be the worst possible outcome. They would lose their most influential player just before European competition begins and see one of their Italian rivals strengthen with a talent who is already well-acquainted with Serie A.

Real Madrid decides between project and business

The dilemma for Real Madrid is not simple. On a sports level, Nico Paz has the talent to compete for a spot, but Madrid's squad is filled with offensive players and midfielders of great significance. The lack of playing time could hinder a progression that has been spectacular in Italy.

In LaLiga, his return would generate immediate excitement but also a different kind of pressure. Mourinho would have to decide whether to truly integrate him or accept that the best option for all parties is to keep him away from the Bernabéu for another year.

Thursday could be decisive. Como 1907 will try to halt a buy-back that would entirely change the scenario, while Inter Milan observes from a distance. Nico Paz has already made his preference clear, but it will be Real Madrid who has the final say regarding one of the most sought-after Argentine talents at the moment.
