Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Como have reached an agreement with Real Madrid to sign Nico Paz for a staggering €60 million. Crucially, the Spanish giants have ensured they retain a future buyback option for the player.
Florentino Perez Masterminds Nico Paz Transfer Loophole
Real Madrid will first activate the current €6 million buyback clause in the Argentine’s contract, only to immediately resell him to Como for €60 million. This strategic financial move is aimed at generating immediate funds to back manager Jose Mourinho’s summer transfer targets.
Recognizing Paz as one of the world’s elite young talents, Real Madrid’s board successfully negotiated a new buyback clause. This fresh agreement allows Los Blancos to re-sign the midfielder starting next summer for a set fee of €80 million.
The deal is a win-win for all parties, particularly satisfying the 21-year-old midfielder, who was determined to stay at Como rather than move to the Premier League, join Inter Milan, or return to the Bernabeu bench.

Securing a spot in the UEFA Champions League played a pivotal role in enabling Como’s board to finance the most expensive signing in the club’s history. However, splitting €60 million on a single player could potentially impact other reinforcements requested by manager Cesc Fabregas.
Nico Paz Stats: The talented playmaker enjoyed a stellar campaign with Como last season, racking up 40 appearances across all competitions, scoring 13 goals, and providing 8 assists.
