Real Madrid Buy-Back for Nico Paz Faces Conflicting Timelines
Romano now indicates a June return under a buy-back clause active only in summer windows.
Overview
- Journalist Gaston Edul reports Real Madrid intend to activate the clause in January to bring the 21-year-old back midseason.
- Fabrizio Romano counters that the plan is a summer 2026 return, saying the clause applies in June and that Paz has approved the move with Como preferring to keep him until then.
- Football Italia reports no January twist is expected and that a summer 2026 move has long been the roadmap.
- Paz’s form at Como continues to fuel interest, with five goals and four assists in 12 Serie A games under coach Cesc Fàbregas.
- Coverage cites fixed-fee buy-back figures around €8–9 million tied to summer windows plus a 50% future-sale stake for Madrid, with Tottenham previously rebuffed and Inter monitoring, and no club has issued official confirmation.
