Overview
- Real Madrid can reportedly trigger a buy-back this week for about €9–10m, which would give the club the right to re-sign Nico Paz from Como.
- Reports say Madrid could then demand a resale fee near €60m, a price that Como cannot realistically match under financial fair-play limits.
- Como have sent sporting director Carlalberto Ludi to Madrid this week to try to persuade Real Madrid not to activate the clause and to keep Paz for their first Champions League campaign.
- Inter Milan are preparing a contingent plan to meet a reported €60m valuation but would need to sell several players first to raise the funds.
- If Como are priced out, media outlets say Premier League clubs could re-enter the race, and the outcome will hinge on Madrid's decision and Paz's stated wish to stay at Como.
