New Negotiations Loom for Nico Paz, Real Madrid Weighs Two Plans

New negotiations are on the horizon between Real Madrid and Como regarding the future of attacking midfielder Nico Paz, who is currently with the Argentina squad for the 2026 World Cup, according to leading Italian journalists.

Representatives from Como are expected to travel to the Spanish capital on Thursday or Friday for talks with Real. The €9 million buy-back option expires on June 30th, and Real Madrid plans to activate it, after which they will likely attempt to sell the 21-year-old to a Premier League club. Another option the 'Royal Club' is considering is to buy Paz and immediately sell him back to Como for €60 million. In such a scenario, 'Los Blancos' would retain the right to re-sign the Argentine for €80 million. However, the Italian side is reluctant to agree to such a deal, hoping for a different arrangement, banking on the player's desire to remain under Cesc Fàbregas.

Meanwhile, Real's city rivals, Atlético, have shown interest in Como captain Luca Da Cunha. However, his club has no intention of parting ways with him, having already reached an agreement with the midfielder to extend his contract.
