Real Madrid could receive significant transfer income from Tottenham Hotspur | OneFootball

Real Madrid could be set for receive a vast amount of money between now and the end of the summer transfer window, should Rodrygo Goes leave for the Premier League. And more could arrive courtesy of Nico Paz.

Last summer, Real Madrid sold Paz to Serie A side Como, where he was a standout performer. And although they have decided against triggering his buy-back clause for 2025, they will have the option to bring him back to the Santiago Bernabeu for a reduced fee in both 2026 and 2027.

However, it turns out that they may not get that chance. Paz has attracted interest from a number of clubs in recent weeks, and he could now be on his way to the Premier League with Tottenham Hotspur.

As per ED, Spurs are interested in signing Paz as an alternative to Eberechi Eze, who has opted to sign for north London rivals Arsenal. The 21-year-old is on a shortlist that features the likes of Maghnes Akliouche and Morgan Rogers, as well as former Girona player Savinho.

Real Madrid would receive 50% of the transfer fee

As part of the deal that saw Paz head to Como, Real Madrid inserted a 50% sell on-clause, meaning that they will be entitled to half of the transfer fee if the Argentina international joins Spurs this summer. However, this would mean that they would lose control over his future, which would be a significant blow.

Real Madrid would welcome any fee received from Paz’s sale, although it could be more worth it to bring him back to the Bernabeu in 2026 or 2027. However, Xabi Alonso already has a number of attacking midfield options at his disposal, and these were added to over the summer when Paz’s compatriot Franco Mastantuono completed his big-money move from River Plate.
