The young Argentine star Nico Paz continues to deliver impressive performances with the Italian team Como, confirming that he is one of the most prominent rising talents in European football, and a name strongly expected to impose himself on the scene in the coming years.

Paz, who is 21 years old, joined Como in the summer of 2024 coming from Real Madrid for 6 million euros, in a smart deal that benefited both parties. The Royal Club retained the option to buy him back in 2025, 2026, and 2027, reflecting their strong belief in the player's abilities and future potential.

Outstanding performance and a plan to return to Madrid

The strong performances Nico Paz is delivering with Como have led Real Madrid to include him in their future project. The data indicates a preliminary agreement with the player to return to the Royal Club at the end of the current season.

Real Madrid can activate the buyback option next summer for about 10 million euros only, but there is a tendency within the club to pay a larger amount as a fair compensation to Como in appreciation for the player's development and contribution to the team.

Numbers that speak of an exceptional talent

During the current season, Nico Paz played 24 matches in the Como shirt, scoring 9 goals and providing 6 assists, the latest being his goal in the 3-1 victory over Fiorentina in the Italian Cup. These numbers did not come from nowhere but reflect a clear development in the player's character on the field and his ability to decide in big matches.

Thanks to this brilliance, Nico Paz has become the top goal scorer in the world under 21 years of age this season with 9 goals, surpassing Lamine Yamal with 8 goals, and Kenan Yildiz also with 8 goals.

A remarkable record with Como

Overall, Nico Paz played 59 matches with Como in various competitions, scoring 15 goals and creating 16 goals, confirming that he is not just a passing talent, but a complete player capable of making a difference both in scoring and assisting.

In light of these data, it seems that Nico Paz is steadily moving towards returning to Santiago Bernabéu, this time more mature and experienced, to be one of the pillars of Real Madrid in the near future, if he continues on the same upward path he is presenting with Como.
