Florentino has a plan to bring Nico Paz to Real Madrid

Nico Paz, a 22-year-old Argentine attacking midfielder from Como 1907, is on the radar of both Chelsea and Manchester United for the summer of 2027. Both English clubs are monitoring his development and considering his signing, although the Argentine still features on the Real Madrid's transfer list which holds an option to repurchase for 80 million euros, potentially complicating their plans.

Chelsea and Manchester United Want to Sign Nico Paz

Interest in Nico Paz is growing in the Premier League. According to journalist Nicolò Schira, both Chelsea and Manchester United are keeping an eye on the Argentine and considering adding him to their squads during the upcoming summer transfer market.

The two English clubs are willing to make a significant investment to persuade Como to part ways with the player. However, there have been no formal offers or specific amounts communicated by any of the interested parties yet.

The Argentine's performance explains this interest. Nico Paz has scored four goals and provided five assists in ten games across Serie A and the Champions League this season, directly contributing to nine goals.

His latest display came against Manchester United, where Como defeated them 4-1 in the Champions League. The attacking midfielder scored two goals and made one assist, directly impacting three of his team's four goals.

Paz has become an essential player for Cesc Fàbregas, who utilizes him as an offensive organizer. From that position, Paz participates in playmaking and also reaches scoring areas, a combination reflected in his stats this season.

Real Madrid Can Reclaim Nico Paz for 80 Million

The main obstacle for the English clubs lies in the agreement signed between Real Madrid and Como 1907 during the summer of 2026.

The Italian club paid around 60 million euros to acquire the rights that the White team still held over the Argentine. In return, Madrid retained a new unilateral repurchase option for 80 million euros.

As per Schira's report, this clause can only be activated between July 1 and 15, 2027. Therefore, Madrid will have a specific window to bring back the player before other teams can advance in negotiations.

The player's continuity in Italy was a mutual decision. Nico Paz himself requested to stay for another season at Como, convinced that he would get more playing time under Fàbregas' guidance. Nico Paz makes Real Madrid look foolish again.

The agreement allowed the Argentine to keep playing regularly and the Italian club to retain one of their most productive players. Meanwhile, Madrid secured a contractual route to bring him back to their squad.

Como Aims to Prevent Nico Paz's Departure

Como 1907 intends to keep the Argentine international for the upcoming season, especially after his involvement in nine goals in ten matches at the beginning of the campaign.

The final decision will depend on the actions of the next summer. If Chelsea or Manchester United present an offer, they must consider that Real Madrid has a repurchase opportunity during the first 15 days of July 2027. This timeframe will be crucial in determining Nico Paz's future.
