La Liga
Nico Paz is back in the spotlight at Real Madrid, which is going through one of the most delicate moments of its season after three winless games and showing unconvincing gameplay. The situation has raised concerns within the club, prompting a rethink of the strategy for the upcoming winter transfer market, a window that Florentino Pérez has always approached with some caution. However, the current crisis has changed the landscape, pushing the president to consider moves that just a few weeks ago seemed unlikely.
The lack of depth in the squad and the low contribution of some players have highlighted the need to strengthen Xabi Alonso's team as soon as possible. In this scenario, the name of the Argentine attacking midfielder is gaining strength once again. The club had already marked his return as a medium-term priority, but, as reported in the newspaper Sport, the circumstances have hastened this plan to the point where his signing has become one of the most desired options by the management.
The urgency of Real Madrid clashes with Nico Paz's contractual reality
The team's performance in LaLiga has made it clear that there is a lack of creative alternatives and the ability to break through tight games. In this context, Nico Paz fits the ideal profile: a dynamic player with a scoring touch, key passes, and steady growth. His progress at Como 1907, where he has scored five goals and provided four assists in thirteen matches under the guidance of Cesc Fàbregas, has reinforced the belief that he could contribute from day one.
The club faces an issue with his contractual situation. Real Madrid intended to activate the buyback option in January, but the clause is not valid until summer, and Como 1907 has no intention of letting go of the player before the end of the season. Although the white entity retains 50% of his rights and several repurchase options for the coming years, none allow for an immediate return, complicating Xabi Alonso's desire to bring him in sooner.
Nevertheless, Florentino Pérez is already working on various scenarios to strengthen key positions in the winter market. January has never been his favorite window, but competitive demands and LaLiga's pressure have compelled the club to act more urgently than in previous seasons. The Argentine's return, even if it cannot happen immediately, is part of a broader plan aimed at bolstering the project without waiting for the issue to escalate.

A homegrown player who understands the club and the project
Having been trained at the club since 2016, the Argentine attacking midfielder is well acquainted with the structure, style, and level of expectations at the white team. This familiarity slots him perfectly into the future plan of Real Madrid, with his growth in Italian football only increasing his strategic value. The club always saw his return as a natural step in his progression, but the sporting crisis has now accelerated the timeline of an operation that seemed more long-term.
The situation has even led to a reconsideration of decisions that had been made calmly. Florentino Pérez is aware that January will be a crucial month and that the team cannot face the second half of the season with the same shortcomings. In this context, Nico Paz has become a crucial piece for the immediate future of the club, and his name will continue to be highlighted on the white team's agenda in the coming weeks. Madrid needs resources, solutions, and talent, and the Argentine represents precisely that.
