Young Serie A star set for next season at Real Madrid

Real Madrid has initiated its preparations for the upcoming season by taking a significant step in squad formation.

Details: According to Marca’s José Félix Díaz, the club has officially informed Como of its decision to exercise the buy-back option for Nico Paz, a product of their academy.

The agreement has reportedly been concluded, marking the 21-year-old midfielder as Los Blancos’ first signing of the summer transfer window for 2026. Paz’s return follows his impressive stint in Italy’s Serie A, where he emerged as one of the league’s most creative and talented young players. This season, he appeared in 37 matches for the Italian club, netting 13 goals and providing 8 assists. Transfermarkt values him at €65 million.

Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé is furious about the situation at the club and blames his teammates for the season’s failure.
