Nico Paz is set to continue his career with Como after the Serie A club reached an agreement with Real Madrid to secure the midfielder's permanent transfer. According to Fabrizio Romano, the deal will meet Real Madrid's valuation of €60 million, though Como will not pay the full amount upfront. This figure will be achieved through a significant sell-on clause for Real Madrid, entitling them to a substantial percentage of any future transfer fee for the Argentine international. Additionally, the Spanish giants will retain a buy-back option. The exact initial fee Como will pay remains undisclosed.
The transfer saga unfolded in recent days after Real Madrid activated a €9 million buy-back clause for Paz, subsequently demanding €60 million from Como for a permanent move.
The Argentine played for Real Madrid's youth teams from 2016 to 2024 before joining Como. During the 2025/26 season, Paz impressed with 13 goals and 8 assists in 40 appearances.
