Overview

• Chelsea are monitoring Nico Paz and, according to reports, are prepared to push to sign the Como midfielder next summer.
• Real Madrid are reported to plan a 2026 return for Paz via a low-cost buy-back clause and remain confident of bringing him back.
• Como intend to negotiate fresh terms with Paz to remove or blunt Madrid’s buy-back, positioning the club to demand a far higher fee.
• Reports place Como’s valuation near €80m if a new deal is agreed, a figure that could invite Premier League bids.
• Paz, 21, has impressed in Serie A, and the outcome now hinges on whether Como can change his contract before Madrid act on their rights.
