Real Madrid is preparing to bring back one of its brightest young prospects earlier than planned. According to Cadena SER, the club intends to activate its buy-back option on Nico Paz, the Argentine-Spanish attacking midfielder who has enjoyed a breakout season at Como in Italy’s top flight.

Originally expected to remain in Italy longer, Paz’s return could now happen in time for the Club World Cup in June, which will be held in the United States. With Xabi Alonso set to lead the team, the tournament is seen as a perfect stage to evaluate the 20-year-old’s readiness for a permanent role in the squad’s next cycle.

Since his move to Como, Nico Paz has recorded six goals and nine assists, quickly proving himself at the elite level. His performances have significantly boosted his profile, and according to Transfermarkt, his market value now stands at €35 million—a massive leap from the €15 million valuation just last October.

Although Real Madrid only released him to Como last year, the club’s long-term vision always included keeping a close eye on his development. With his contract running until 2028, any move would have to be handled swiftly and decisively—exactly what the club is preparing to do.

Now, as Real Madrid continues shaping the next generation of talent under Xabi Alonso, Nico Paz appears ready to step into the spotlight.
