Real Madrid retain a priority option to re-sign Nicolas Paz from Como, but the clause can only be activated during the summer of 2027.
Como bought all rights to the Argentine midfielder from Real Madrid last summer for 60m euros, with the two clubs agreeing a future buy-back arrangement as part of the deal.
According to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, Real Madrid can bring Paz back for 80m euros. However, the option will be valid only in the summer of 2027 and will expire afterwards.
The Spanish club had wanted to re-sign the 22-year-old before the beginning of the current season for a significantly reduced fee. Paz instead chose to remain with Cesc Fabregas’ side for at least another year.
