Nico Paz multiplies his value
The Argentine attacking midfielder is shining this season in the Champions League with Como.
Nico Paz is unstoppable. The international Argentine attacking midfielder was crucial in the historic rout of Como against Lens in the UEFA Champions League, and his market value is increasing, while several major clubs are knocking on the door of the Italian team to attempt to sign him next summer.
The attacking midfielder contributed 1 goal and 2 assists on French soil, raising his individual season records to 6 goals and 8 assists in 13 official matches, a performance that reaffirms Real Madrid's shrewdness in reserving a buyback option valued at 80 million euros for the summer market of 2027.

The impact of Nico Paz in France and his statistical dominance in the Champions League
The forward's performance in the 1-9 victory on French soil capped an unprecedented continental trajectory for the Lombard team. The player completed his display by scoring a long-range goal and providing two assists in open play, consolidating his status as the top assister in the Champions League with 5 assists and the overall leader in direct production with 8 goal actions in just 4 matchdays of the group stage.
Under the tactical direction of Cesc Fàbregas, the albiceleste international has established himself as the undisputed reference in midfield, alternating between the inside channel and drifting towards both wide areas. This offensive continuity has led specialized outlets and technical secretariats of the major leagues to place his sports valuation well above the economic parameters agreed upon at the beginning of the season.
The conditions of Real Madrid and the rising interest from the Premier League
The rapid increase in the forward's valuation affects the operations of Premier League clubs that have inquired about his transfer conditions in recent weeks. The British entities know that the player will not leave for an amount lower than 80 million euros and that any formal proposal is subject to Real Madrid's preferential right.
The white institution sold the remaining 50% of his rights for 60 million euros to the Italian club, retaining 50% of any future profit and the unilateral buyback clause set at 80 million euros for the 2027-2028 season. This contractual safeguard ensures the Madrid club has absolute authority to repatriate the South American jewel or receive half of a multimillion-dollar transfer in case of a sale to third parties.
Intermediaries from English clubs will maintain in-person monitoring of their league commitments in Italy over the coming weeks. If he maintains this statistical progression until the end of the season, Real Madrid will activate the preferential clause to permanently incorporate Nico Paz before the start of the summer pre-season.
