Real Madrid is keeping a close eye on former academy player Nico Paz, who has joined Como 1907 in Italy. Paz, an attacking midfielder, has been making waves in Serie A under the guidance of manager Cesc Fabregas. Real Madrid retained a 50% sell-on clause and a buyback option when Paz left the club, indicating their interest in potentially reacquiring him in the future ¹.

Nico Paz’s Performance:

– Games Played: Paz has played four Serie A games for Como 1907.

– Assists: He has already notched up two assists, showcasing his creative skills on the pitch.

– Impact: Paz’s performance against Atalanta was particularly impressive, helping his team secure a 3-2 win, their first in Serie A in 23 years.

Real Madrid’s Interest:

Real Madrid’s decision to track Paz’s development closely suggests they may be interested in recalling him or monitoring his progress for potential future opportunities. The club’s ability to buy him back could prove valuable if Paz continues to perform well ¹ ².

Other Academy Players:

Real Madrid has also been keeping an eye on other former academy players, including Jesus Fortea, a 17-year-old right-back who has halted contract talks with the club. Fortea’s development is crucial for Real Madrid, and losing him could send the wrong message to other academy players ³.

Transfer Speculation:

There’s speculation about potential transfers involving Real Madrid players, including Rodrygo Goes, who has been linked to Liverpool. The club’s £850m release clause for Rodrygo has sparked debate about his potential departure ⁴.
