Real Madrid are moving quickly behind the scenes as they step up efforts to bring Nico Paz back to the Santiago Bernabéu.
The young Argentine has become one of Serie A’s standout performers this season, shining brightly for Como under the guidance of Cesc Fàbregas.
Paz enjoyed a breakthrough year in Italy last season, and he has only improved in the current campaign.
His form has sparked growing speculation that Real Madrid are ready to activate their buy-back option to secure his return in the summer of 2026.
According to Fabrizio Romano, a meeting between Real Madrid and Como is scheduled to take place in the coming days, reports Madrid Universal.
The intention is to finalise a framework that would confirm Paz’s move well ahead of time.
Los Blancos hold a €10 million buy-back clause, but negotiations are expected to exceed that figure.
Madrid Willing To Pay More Than The Clause
Instead of triggering the clause directly, Real Madrid want to maintain strong relations with Como.

As a result, the Spanish giants are prepared to offer a package above €10 million as a gesture of respect for the work done in Paz’s development.
Como, for their part, appreciate the transparency and are open to striking an early deal. The club recognise that Paz’s rise has attracted major attention, and securing clarity early benefits all parties.
In 12 starts this season, the 20-year-old midfielder has produced five goals and four assists, becoming the creative focal point of Fàbregas’ side.
Rumours of a January recall have been dismissed, with Madrid confirming the plan for Paz to complete the season in Italy. A return will only be possible in the summer of 2026.
