Real Madrid set to trigger Nico Paz buy-back clause this winter -report

Real Madrid have decided to bring Nico Paz back during the upcoming transfer window and will trigger the buy-back clause in Paz’s contract with Como, according to Argentinian reporter Gastón Edul from TyC. Paz’s return to the Santiago Bernabeu in the summer of 2026 seemed a foregone conclusion, but Los Blancos have decided that the Argentine midfielder could be an important player during the second half of the season, according to the same report. Other reporters suggest that the buy-back clause cannot be effective until the summer of 2026, so whether or not Real Madrid will push to reach an agreement with Como remains to be seen.

While Edul is a reputed journalist in Argentinian football, Real Madrid buying back Nico Paz during the winter would be surprising, given that Los Blancos know that Como are counting on him to stay until the end of the season.

Still, Paz would be an intriguing addition to the squad, given that the current midfield has been struggling for a while. It’s clear that the Argentinian wonder kid has the potential to crack the team’s rotation, so bringing him back during the winter would make sense,
