Nico Paz is once again at the center of Real Madrid's sports planning in a week marked by institutional and sports turmoil in Chamartín. The white club is going through a delicate moment, but that has not stopped the office work.

The dismissal of Xabi Alonso, elimination from the cup, and the tense atmosphere at the Santiago Bernabéu have not altered Florentino Pérez's roadmap, determined to strengthen the squad for the next season.

According to DefensaCentral, the president has already informed several executives that the return of Nico Paz is fully decided and only pending the set timelines.

Nico Paz, a strategic repurchase for Real Madrid

The operation is clear. Real Madrid will activate the buyback clause of Nico Paz in July, set at nine million euros, a figure much lower than his current market value. It is even considered to pay a little extra as a gesture towards Como 1907, thanking the Italian club for rejecting significant offers last summer from Europe.

The player has already been informed through his circle. They believe the time has come for Nico Paz to come back home, more mature and with a solid competitive background.

Rapid growth at Como 1907

The period of Nico Paz at Como 1907 has exceeded expectations. The midfielder quickly adapted to Serie A, a demanding championship tactically and physically. This season, he has played 1,802 minutes in 21 official matches, scoring six goals and providing six assists, reflecting his real impact on the team's play.

Cesc Fàbregas has given him responsibilities. Nico Paz has become a key figure in the Italian project, assuming responsibilities at just 21 years old.

A profile that fits the new White policy

The return of Nico Paz responds to a specific need. Real Madrid considers it a priority to strengthen the midfield for the next season. The Spanish-Argentinian is currently preferred over other profiles followed by the club. Players like Kees Smit or Vitinha are liked, but their contracts complicate any immediate deal.

On the other hand, Nico Paz offers club knowledge, projection, immediate impact, and a very affordable cost considering his current performance.

The World Cup, a key factor in the operation

Real Madrid's plan is to bring in Nico Paz after the World Cup. The club is confident that he can participate in the tournament with Argentina, which would be a massive showcase. That is one of the reasons why Florentino Pérez wants to close the repurchase as soon as possible. A good performance could boost his market value.

Currently, Nico Paz is valued at around 65 million euros. There is a real risk of that figure increasing if he excels on the international stage.

Nico Paz, ready to come back home

After almost two years away from Chamartín, Nico Paz returns more developed, more competitive, and with a defined footballing personality. Real Madrid sees him as a key piece for the new project, a player who understands the club, knows the pressure, and is ready to take on an important role.

While the white environment seeks stability, Nico Paz emerges as a certainty. A silent, strategic signing, closely aligned with Florentino Pérez's vision.
