Real Madrid have confirmed their decision to re-sign former academy player Nico Paz in the summer of 2026, with firm plans to integrate him into their first-team squad.
Real Madrid to Bring Nico Paz Back to Bernabéu in 2026
The 21-year-old Argentine attacking midfielder has flourished since his move to Italian side Como 1907 in 2024.
Under the guidance of manager Cesc FÃ bregas, Paz has delivered standout performances, contributing 11 goals and 14 assists across 51 appearances.
This significant development in Serie A has firmly put him on the radar of top European clubs.
However, Real Madrid hold a decisive advantage. The club structured his initial transfer with a clear buy-back option and now intends to exercise it.
Reports indicate Madrid’s satisfaction with his progress is so high that they view him as a long-term asset, not a prospect to sell for profit. Despite noted interest from clubs like Manchester United, the Spanish champions will not entertain offers.
Paz is expected to return to the Spanish capital at the start of the 2026/27 season. Club officials believe he can address a clear need for creative depth in their midfield.
His current focus remains on finishing his tenure at Como strongly, aiming to help the club qualify for European competition.
The player also carries a powerful personal incentive. He is determined to secure a spot in the Argentina squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, a ambition Madrid believes will only fuel his development further.
The agreement ensures a smooth transition, with Como aware of the terms from the outset.
Real Madrid now prepare to welcome back a matured talent, ready to claim his place at the Santiago Bernabéu.
