An imminent signing is already being felt at Real Madrid: Nico Paz has a verbal agreement with the white board to return in 2026, as Florentino Pérez communicated to Xabi Alonso.

The bond between Nico Paz and Real Madrid

From the start, Nico Paz always confessed that his goal was to succeed in Real Madrid's first team. That ambition has guided significant decisions. Despite the interest of several European clubs this summer, he chose to reject offers and stay at Como to establish himself among the elite.

As reported by DefensaCentral, the Madrid club will activate a buy-back clause valued between 9 and 10 million euros, which gives them priority to repatriate the talented Argentine midfielder. This contractual formula unlocks his return, provided it is planned calmly and sensibly.

Within La Fábrica, they have admitted to being pleasantly surprised by how quickly he has evolved: with improved physique, character, and presence on the field. It is said that many Valdebebas employees follow his matches in Italy, convinced that his reintegration will be seamless.

Development will determine his role in La Liga and with Como

Nico Paz chose to extend his spell at Como FC this season, aware that growing in Italy would better prepare him for La Liga. In Serie A, he has demonstrated leadership and performance: in September, he was named Emerging Star after providing two goals and two assists.

Furthermore, the Lombard club does not boast a star-studded squad: they have earned 9 points in six rounds and hold mid-table positions. However, they show they can compete with anyone, and Paz is the driving force behind that project.

Florentino already hinted to Alonso that the signing is "almost finalized," reinforcing expectations. Nevertheless, both in Madrid and Como, they watch the contract, clauses, and the ideal timing of execution cautiously.

The adaptation will be swift

The most reiterated argument among Madrid fans is that Nico Paz knows the corridors of Valdebebas like few others. He is familiar with the staff, the style, and the club's philosophy. This advantage will allow him to integrate with a shorter learning curve.

During his time in La Fábrica, he already had interactions with the first team: he participated in friendlies and experienced the competitive atmosphere of the institution. These experiences will be crucial for his definitive leap not to be traumatic. Meanwhile, he has started to enter the orbit of the Argentine national team, enhancing his international profile.

Risks and rewards of a future project

However, Real Madrid must carefully balance things. The challenge will be to ensure playing time, avoid overexposure, and not hinder his progression. A big club demands immediate results but also patience.

As Como's sporting director, Carlalberto Ludi, acknowledges, "Nico Paz has a club and a community that adore him," referring to the emotional commitment he has generated. In this context, his extended stay in Italy seems essential: not only to refine his skills but also to arrive with authority in the white team's locker room.

With Florentino's confirmation, the operation enters a decisive phase. If all goes well, when the 2026-27 season kicks off, Xabi Alonso's project will be able to count on a youth with a Madridista DNA and giant strides. And there, at the foot of the Bernabéu's turf, Nico Paz's story will begin anew.
