Real Madrid Scraps Nico Paz Buy-Back Plan
14 Jun
Summary
- Nico Paz will not return to Real Madrid in the summer of 2026.
- New coach Jose Mourinho is reportedly against activating the buy-back clause.
- Paz has a €10m buy-back option available again in 2027.
Real Madrid will not re-sign Nico Paz in the current 2026 summer transfer window, contrary to previous expectations. The club possesses a buy-back clause for the Argentine international, who has impressed since joining Como in 2024.
New head coach Jose Mourinho is reportedly not in favor of activating the clause, casting doubt on Paz's immediate return to the Bernabeu. This decision may be influenced by the anticipated arrival of Bernardo Silva, potentially limiting Paz's playing time.
The club's only remaining opportunity to utilize the buy-back clause will be in 2027, when Paz could return for a fee of €10 million. Paz is expected to continue developing with Como, who will participate in next season's Champions League.
