Real Madrid Set to Activate €9 Million Buy-Back Clause for Nico Paz This Summer
Real Madrid is gearing up for the summer transfer window, with one significant acquisition already in motion. The club plans to activate several buy-back clauses during the off-season, and the first of these will be triggered as early as July.
Among Real Madrid's various buy-back options, the one concerning Nico Paz stands out. The 21-year-old has been a revelation for Como since joining in 2024. While the club opted not to activate a previous clause last summer, they are now set to trigger the current one this summer.
According to Diario AS, Real Madrid has finalized its decision to bring Paz back. The club intends to activate his buy-back clause as soon as the transfer window officially opens.
Real Madrid to Secure Paz for Just €9 Million
When Paz moved to Como in 2024, Real Madrid shrewdly included three distinct buy-back clauses in the agreement. An initial €8 million clause expired last summer, but the subsequent €9 million option is slated for activation this summer. This represents an exceptional deal for a player who has contributed 10 goals and six assists in Serie A this season and has become a consistent Argentina international.
Paz's return to Real Madrid this summer is contingent only on his personal refusal to come back to the Bernabéu. However, such an outcome is not anticipated, prompting club officials to proceed with preparations for the La Fábrica academy product's re-signing.
This summer marks a pivotal moment for Paz. With strong prospects for Argentina's 2026 World Cup squad, he is expected to return to Real Madrid permanently following the tournament. While his immediate focus remains with Como, his journey back to the club will be keenly observed.
