  • Páz’s market value is €10.00 million.

Transfer News: Clubs in the Race

Nico Páz is reportedly on the verge of leaving Real Madrid, with Como, Girona, and Alavés showing keen interest in acquiring his services. While Como is pushing hard to sign the young talent, Girona and Alavés have also asked for the conditions of the deal.

Real Madrid, however, is keen on including a buy-back option in the transfer agreement. This clause would allow the Spanish giants to re-sign Páz in the future, ensuring they retain control over his career trajectory.

  • Como: An Italian club leading the race to sign Nico Páz.
  • Girona: A Spanish club that has inquired about the specifics of the transfer deal.
  • Alavés: Another Spanish club expressing interest in the player.

Although the exact transfer fee has not been disclosed, it is expected to be substantial, given Páz’s market value of €10.00 million.


Implications of the Transfer

Nico Páz’s potential departure from Real Madrid is significant, not just for the clubs involved but also for Páz’s career development. As the son of retired footballer Pablo Paz, Nico inherits a strong footballing pedigree. His dual nationality makes him an attractive option for both Spanish and Argentine clubs.

Páz’s performances in the UEFA Youth League and various domestic competitions have showcased his talent, making him a sought-after player in the transfer market. His skill set and versatility make him a valuable asset for any team looking to bolster their midfield options.

In related news, Real Madrid’s strategic use of buy-back clauses is not new. The club recently included a similar clause in the transfer of Rafa Marín to Napoli, ensuring they could re-sign him if he continues to develop as expected.
