Real Madrid has decided not to sign Nico Páz this summer, following the recent acquisition of Franco Mastantuono from River Plate. As a result, the midfielder will remain at Como, managed by Cesc Fabregas, for another season. Páz was previously on loan at Como.
Transfer Details
The Spanish club has retained a buy-back clause for Páz, with a fee of €9m set for summer 2026 and €10m for summer 2027. This allows Real Madrid to re-acquire the player in the future if they choose to exercise the clause. Páz’s style of play is that of an attacking midfielder. Prior to joining Como, he was part of Real Madrid’s youth setup.
Background
Páz’s loan deal at Como was previously reported, with the club having the option to potentially sign him permanently. However, according to the latest developments, he will remain on loan for another season. Mastantuono’s transfer to Real Madrid was confirmed earlier this month, with the club reportedly having beaten competition from other top European clubs to secure the Argentine midfielder’s signature.
