Nico Paz's future is now set: Real Madrid is ready to exercise the buy-back clause that will allow them to bring the Argentine talent back to Spain for 9 million euros in the summer of 2026.

Nico Paz, behind the scenes on the agreement between Como and Real Madrid: why the Larians will cash in more than the 9 million of the clause

An operation foreseen since his transfer to Como, but which - according to what filters from environments close to the two clubs - could conclude in a more advantageous way for the Larian company.

Behind Paz's return to Casa Blanca, in fact, hides an economic backstory that will change the cards on the table: a gentlemen's agreement between the two clubs that will allow Como to cash in a sum much higher than the figure set by the clause.

Tottenham had gone up to 70 million: the offer that changed everything

During the last summer session, Tottenham attempted a sensational coup: 70 million euros for Nico Paz. An offer that would have guaranteed Como about 35 million, as Real Madrid retains 50% of the rights on the future resale and the right to match any proposal for the player.

According to sources close to the negotiation, the London offer triggered an immediate confrontation between the executives of Como and Real. Despite recognizing the economic value of the operation, the two companies decided by mutual agreement to reject the English assault, preferring not to deprive themselves of the player a few days before the start of the championship.

The pact between Como and Real Madrid: a "valorization award"

The renunciation of Tottenham's maxi-check was not an act of mere sporting loyalty. According to rumors collected in financial environments, Real Madrid and Como would have reached a confidential agreement to recognize the Italian club a valorization award for the work done on Nico Paz.

Real, convinced of wanting to reintegrate the Argentine fantasist into their technical project, would have guaranteed Como an economic adjustment higher than the repurchase figure, to take into account the technical growth and the market value reached by the player.

In concrete terms, the parties could renegotiate the redemption price on a basis between 30 and 40 million euros, a figure considered more in line with current market valuations.

From the mockery to the stroke of genius: Como's strategy

When in the summer of 2023 Como invested 6 million euros for Nico Paz's card, many insiders spoke of a risky deal, given the buy-back clause inserted by Real Madrid. Today, however, that agreement could turn into a case of managerial success: the Larian club, led by patron Mirwan Suwarso and coach Cesc Fàbregas, could obtain a net capital gain and, above all, consolidate strategic relationships with the Madrid management.

The operation, in fact, strengthens the technical and commercial link between Como and Real Madrid, paving the way for new future collaborations, especially in the youth sector and in the valorization of emerging talents.

A gem with a guaranteed future

Class of 2004, Nico Paz has established himself as one of the most promising talents in the European panorama. With Como, he has shown maturity, technical qualities and vision of the game that have made him indispensable in Fàbregas's tactical chessboard.

The prospect of a return to Real Madrid represents for the player a natural passage towards great European football, while for Como it could mean one of the most profitable economic operations in its recent history.
