Nicolás Paz has once again become news in the midst of the 2026 World Cup. While the Argentine National Team finalizes details for its upcoming match against Jordan, the young midfielder received a key update regarding his future: Real Madrid decided to execute the buyback clause with Como 1907.
The news was reported by journalist Fabrizio Romano, who stated: "Real Madrid officially informs Como that they are activating the buyback clause of 9 million euros for Nico Paz. Nico returns and the club gives Como the opportunity to buy him for 60 million euros from now until Monday. Otherwise, next week Nico will be back at Real Madrid and back on the market for MORE than 60 million euros".
The operation, valued at nine million euros, had been contemplated since the moment the Spanish club transferred the player to the Italian team in 2024. After a season of great performance, in which he was one of the pillars that helped his team reach the semifinals of the Coppa Italia, finish 4th in Serie A, and qualify for an international tournament for the first time (notably the Champions League), the Madrid management decided to regain control over the future of one of the greatest prospects to emerge from their academy.
