Real Madrid’s promising midfielder Nico Paz is on the verge of a permanent departure from the Santiago Bernabeu this summer, with three clubs actively pursuing the young talent.
Nico Paz Poised for Real Madrid Exit, Three Clubs Show Interest
Sources close to the situation suggest that the 19-year-old, who has been with the club for several years, is looking for more regular first-team football, a prospect that seems increasingly unlikely at Real Madrid.
Paz’s potential exit comes amid intense competition in Real Madrid’s midfield, where seasoned players like Federico Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga, Jude Bellingham, and Aurelien Tchouameni have firmly established themselves.
Despite being highly regarded within the club’s ranks, Paz has found opportunities scarce, making a move away a logical next step in his career.
The interest in Paz is heating up, with Serie B side Como, managed by former Spanish international Cesc Fabregas, leading the race. Girona and Alaves have also thrown their hats into the ring, already inquiring about the conditions for a potential transfer.
Each of these clubs sees Paz as a valuable addition to their squad, with the promise of regular playing time a key factor in the midfielder’s decision-making process.
However, the deal is far from straightforward. Real Madrid is keen on including a buy-back clause in any agreement, a common tactic employed by the club when offloading young prospects.
This clause would allow Real Madrid to bring Paz back if he fulfills his potential elsewhere, ensuring they don’t completely sever ties with the talented youngster. The inclusion of this clause has reportedly slowed down negotiations, as all parties work to find a middle ground that satisfies everyone.
Paz’s performances during Real Madrid’s pre-season tour in the United States further highlighted his current predicament.
Despite the absence of several key players, he was only afforded 92 minutes across three games, indicating that manager Carlo Ancelotti may not have immediate plans for the midfielder in his starting lineup. This lack of playing time only strengthens the case for Paz seeking opportunities elsewhere.
As the transfer window edges closer to its conclusion, the next few days will be crucial in determining Nico Paz’s future.
While his departure from Real Madrid may disappoint some fans, it also offers the youngster a fresh start and a chance to fulfill his potential at a club where he can play a more central role.
