Argentine talent Nico Paz is thriving at Como, with a planned return to Real Madrid in summer 2026 after another season, as no January transfer surprises are anticipated.
According to a report from Football Italia’s Alfredo PedullĂ , Argentine talent Nico Paz is “shining at Como” and his return to Real Madrid in the summer of 2026 “appears more and more likely,” with “no surprises expected in January.”
The 21-year-old midfielder has been an “undisputed star at the Stadio Sinigaglia,” having already logged five goals and four assists in 12 Serie A games this season.
The article emphasizes the consistency of the strategy for the player’s future. It is “no secret that Real Madrid have an option to re-sign” Paz, and sources “with direct knowledge of the matter tell me that there aren’t other interpretations of the agreement between Como and Real Madrid.”
The planned timeline has reportedly remained consistent even amidst external transfer interest. Paz’s return to Real Madrid in the summer of 2026 “has always been the plan, even when Tottenham were linked with the Argentine last summer, despite Como not giving the green light for the deal.”
The report concludes that the arrangement is designed to benefit all parties involved: “One more season at Como, then the big leap.
This has always been the plan for Nico Paz, and it’s been confirmed in recent days. Ultimately, everyone will be happy.”
