Real Madrid faces buy-back decision on Nico Paz next summer

Summary

Real Madrid must decide by next summer whether to activate a €80 million buy-back clause for Nico Paz, a 22-year-old former academy player currently at Como. Paz's impressive performances have contributed to his rising profile, especially following a standout game against Manchester United. The buy-back option expires in the summer of 2027, which limits Los Blancos' control over his future. The club has to consider integrating Paz into a squad already filled with talent, including Jude Bellingham and Bernardo Silva.
