Real Madrid Consider Winter Buy Back for Nico Paz

Real Madrid are reportedly planning to activate Nico Paz’s buy back clause during the upcoming transfer window, according to TyC’s Gastón Edul. Although the clause is believed to be valid only in summer 2026, the club may still negotiate with Como as their midfield struggles. Paz is viewed as a potential immediate addition to strengthen the squad.

As the winter transfer window approaches, Real Madrid are reportedly preparing to activate the buy-back clause for young midfielder Nico Paz. According to Argentinian journalist Gastón Edul of TyC, Los Blancos want to bring Paz back from Como midway through the 2025 26 season instead of waiting until the already expected summer 2026 return.

The club believes the 20-year-old Argentine can strengthen a midfield that has struggled for consistency in recent weeks, making him a valuable option for the second half of the campaign. However, other sources claim the buy back clause cannot legally be triggered until summer 2026, meaning Madrid would need to negotiate directly with Como if they intend to accelerate his return. This creates uncertainty around whether a January move is realistically possible.

Como are also relying on Paz to complete the season, which adds another layer of complication. Despite these hurdles, the interest signals Real Madrid’s growing confidence in Paz’s development. His performances in Serie A have highlighted his technical quality and maturity, convincing the club that he is ready to compete for a role at the Santiago Bernabeu. If the deal can be pushed through, Paz could become an important midseason reinforcement for Madrid’s midfield rotation.
