Real Madrid Weighs Reported €9m Buy-Back for Nico Paz as Brahim Diaz Eyes Juventus Loan
A narrow buy-back window together with Real Madrid’s presidential vote and Mourinho’s reported interest will determine whether Paz returns and opens a spot for Diaz.
Overview
- Real Madrid reportedly holds a time-limited buy-back option on Nico Paz for about €9m this summer that would allow the club to re-sign the Como winger.
- La Gazzetta dello Sport and other outlets report that incoming coach Jose Mourinho is keen to bring Paz back to Madrid as soon as possible, a factor prompting urgency inside the club.
- Juventus have identified Brahim Diaz as a target and sources say Diaz is open to a season-long loan to Turin if Real Madrid clear space in the attacking line-up.
- Diaz made 42 appearances this season with two goals and nine assists and has a contract that runs until June 2027, giving Madrid an incentive to move him before he can leave for free.
- Madrid’s final decision is constrained by short contractual deadlines, the club’s presidential election and recruitment plans, while Como’s Champions League qualification and Paz’s preference to stay complicate the transfer path.
