Real Madrid already thinking about signing €80m midfielder in 2027

Real Madrid already thinking about signing €80m midfielder in 2027 In the last 24 hours, it has been confirmed that Nico Paz will not be returning to Real Madrid this summer. On Thursday, Los Blancos activated the €9m buy-back clause in their agreement with Como, but within a day, they agreed a deal for the Serie A side to retain his services on a permanent basis to the tune of €60m. An immediate profit of €51m is very good news for Real Madrid, who have already spent €80m this summer on Marc Cucurella (€60m) and Denzel Dumfries (€20m), on top of free transfers Ibrahima Konate and Bernardo Silva. The money coming in from Paz can be put towards his Argentina teammate Enzo Fernandez, who is Jose Mourinho’s top target to strengthen the midfield in his squad. Not only have Real Madrid made a huge profit on Paz, they have also managed to retain a buy-back clause in the new agreement with Como. Next summer, they will be given the chance to definitively return him to the Bernabeu for €80m, and according to Guillermo Rai of The Athletic , they are already planning to activate this. Real Madrid believe Paz is worth more than €80m Right now, the feeling within Real Madrid is that Paz is worth in excess of €80m. The sale to Como for a reduced price of €60m has allowed them to retain control over the 21-year-old’s future, and there is chances for his value to grow further given that he will have a lot more prominence at the Serie A side than if he had returned to the Bernabeu, where he would not have been counted on much by Mourinho. Real Madrid will certainly be keeping a keen eye on Paz’s development at Como during the 2026-27 season, and barring any surprises, it appears that they will sign him back next summer.
