Real Madrid have officially made the call: Nico Paz is set to return to the Bernabéu in June 2026 after the club are said to trigger his buy-back clause, with the fee agreed at $9.7 million.
The 21-year-old Argentine has been thriving at Como in Serie A, turning heads with his creativity and consistency, even as top clubs reportedly chased his signature, including a rejected $75.4 million bid from Tottenham. Despite that interest, Paz’s eyes have stayed fixed on a return to Real Madrid, where he came through the academy.
Now all that’s left is the formal announcement and the summer reveal, but the writing’s on the wall: Real Madrid’s long-term vision includes Paz as part of their next chapter in 2026.
