With Luka Modric’s departure now official, Real Madrid are prioritizing a midfield signing this summer to reinforce the team’s engine room. While Xabi Alonso has already secured defensive additions in Dean Huijsen and Trent Alexander-Arnold, the midfield now takes center stage in the club’s transfer plans.

Among the several names considered, Nico Paz has emerged as the leading candidate. According to the latest reports, Real Madrid are seriously considering bringing the Argentine midfielder back to the club after an impressive season on loan at Como.

Paz, who has a €8 million buy-out clause, has reportedly convinced the Madrid hierarchy with his performances in Italy. Manager Xabi Alonso is said to have given his approval for the move, and the club is already working on the deal. Despite the speculation, the 19-year-old has remained discreet about his future.

According to Tuttomercatoweb, Real Madrid have tabled a five-year contract worth €3.5 million net per season—a highly attractive offer for the talented midfielder. The primary concern now lies in the role and playing time Paz would receive in a competitive midfield packed with top-level talent.

The coming days are expected to be crucial, with Real Madrid pushing to finalize what could be a key move for the post-Modric era.
