Overview
- Reports citing Fabrizio Romano say Nico Paz has accepted a return, with Real Madrid intending to activate the clause in June 2026 for the 2026–27 season.
- The buyback can only be executed in the summer, ruling out a January move despite the player's form and interest from elsewhere.
- Como is expected to keep the 21-year-old through the current campaign, as the club resists losing a key starter during the season.
- When selling Paz to Como for €6 million in August 2024, Madrid retained 50% of his rights and a time‑staged buyback option reported at €8m earlier, €9m in 2026, and €10m in 2027.
- Rumors link Inter and Tottenham with offers above €40 million, yet Madrid holds the advantage due to its contractual buyback and the player's reported willingness to return.
