Predictable Nico Paz return to Real Madrid, but no January surprises

Argentine talent Nico Paz is shining at Como and his return to Real Madrid in the summer appears more and more likely, with no surprises expected in January.

Nico Paz has already grabbed five goals and four assists in 12 Serie A games with Como this season.

The Como squad is filled with quality thanks to wise deals in the transfer market, but Nico Paz is the undisputed star at the Stadio Sinigaglia.

It is no secret that Real Madrid have an option to re-sign the 21-year-old, and sources with direct knowledge of the matter tell me that there aren’t other interpretations of the agreement between Como and Real Madrid.

Nico Paz’s return to Real Madrid in the summer of 2026 has always been the plan, even when Tottenham were linked with the Argentine last summer, despite Como not giving the green light for the deal.

One more season at Como, then the big leap. This has always been the plan for Nico Paz, and it’s been confirmed in recent days. Ultimately, everyone will be happy.
