Real Madrid Poised to Activate Buy-Back for Nico Paz This Summer

The midfielder is waiting for clarity on Madrid's next manager before committing.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report Madrid plan to trigger their repurchase option before a late‑June deadline, using a clause well below Paz’s current market valuation.
  • Accounts differ on the figures and timing, with one report citing a €9 million clause for this summer and another outlining €10–11 million options linked to 2026 and 2027.
  • Inter Milan’s interest intensified after Paz and his father dined in Milan with vice president Javier Zanetti, with Diego Milito also present, though no formal bid has followed.
  • Reports note the dinner may have been unrelated to transfers and characterize talk of an Inter switch as premature.
  • Como could try to persuade the player with the prospect of European football, but Madrid’s buy-back rights significantly limit their leverage.
