Nico Paz has been one of the young players who has caused the most buzz at Real Madrid in recent months, especially since the transfer window opened. The defender has a lot of talent and he is showing it at Como, but the white club doesn't think it's enough. Some time ago, they let him go, but they filled his contract with clauses that would benefit the club.
Real Madrid is in the midst of a restructuring process and everything has started with the dismissal of the former coach and the appointment of Xabi Alonso. The Spaniard hasn't started in the best way at the helm of the team and part of the fans question him constantly. Now, Nico Paz's case is going to be repeated and the whites are letting a great talent slip away.
Xabi Alonso's Real Madrid
Xabi Alonso did great things as Bayer Leverkusen's coach and his achievements earned him a spot at Real Madrid. This season, the whites haven't achieved the desired results and the fans have urgently demanded reinforcements. Florentino Pérez is aware of how important it is to strengthen the squad and he has gotten to work.
At the end of 2024, despite having unbelievable talent, Nico Paz left Real Madrid in search of the opportunities that Ancelotti wasn't giving him. He quickly earned a spot in Como's squad and proved that he was capable of playing at the highest level of soccer. This year, the Italian team has achieved good results and Nico has been part of that.
Nico Paz's transfer was a sale with a buy-back option in the future if Real Madrid wanted it and a percentage of the rights. Interestingly, Fabrizio Romano has reported that there's another young prospect from the white club who will follow in the footsteps of the current midfielder on Cesc's team. This has caused a lot of surprise, since it was expected that his turn would come sooner or later.
A star repeats Nico Paz's path
Nico Paz is very happy at Como and everything suggests that he will make history with that team, or at least he will finish his contract. The footballer who will follow in his footsteps is Jacobo Ramón, a center-back who has already played minutes during the Club World Cup. According to Fabrizio Romano, Como will buy him for €2.5 million, but Real Madrid will keep a buy-back option and 50% of the rights.
