Nico Paz remains firmly in Real Madrid’s plans for next season, and recent reports confirm that nothing has changed. Despite the rise of Thiago and the progress of Güler, the club continues to see him as a key part of their future. This decision has been set for some time—last summer, Real Madrid made it clear to the player that they were counting on him for 2026, giving him their word, a promise he fully intends to honor.

While Como have tried to persuade him to stay, Nico’s commitment to returning to Real Madrid remains unwavering. The only factor that could threaten the deal would be concerns over playing time, but as of now, that is not an issue. Nico wants to come back, he dreams of returning, and he will do so.

The buy-back represents a significant bargain in today’s football market. Real Madrid can re-sign Nico Paz this summer for €9 million, following his departure in 2024 for just over €6 million. His two-year loan has been a resounding success, with the player developing considerably during that period. Originally, three return options were set: €8 million in 2025, €9 million in 2026, or €10 million in 2027. Real Madrid will activate the 2026 option, securing his return at a pivotal stage of his career—21 years old, with eleven goals and six assists this season, and a current valuation of €65 million compared to €15 million at the time of his departure.
