The Italian club Como announced the guarantee of the permanence of midfielder Nico Paz, fending off advances from Inter Milan and closing a strategic agreement involving Real Madrid for 60 million euros. The decision, considered a surprise in the transfer market, aims to strengthen the squad for next season.
How to consolidate the squad for the Champions League with Nico Paz maintained
Suwarso’s team chose to exercise their right of preference, keeping the 21-year-old Argentinean in their squad. The measure ensures that Nico Paz, who has stood out in the last two years of development, continues to be a key player in next year’s Champions League campaign.
Previously, Real Madrid had expressed their intention to reincorporate the player, activating a buy-back clause of 10 million euros. However, Como managed to negotiate a stay, paying a significant amount to the Blancos.
Real Madrid guarantees future control over the athlete with complex buy-back and resale clauses
Despite the sale to Como for 60 million euros, Real Madrid guaranteed its control over Nico Paz’s future. The payment of this amount to Como will be postponed, in accordance with the terms of the agreement between the clubs.
Los Merengues included a buy-back clause in the contract, which allows them to buy the player back for €80 million in the future. This strategy reflects Real Madrid’s strong belief in the athlete’s talent, keeping the door open for his return.
Additionally, should Nico Paz be transferred to another club in the future, Real Madrid has secured a substantial percentage of the resale value, estimated at approximately 50%. This mechanism ensures that the Spanish club continues to profit from player development.
Inter Milan does not move forward in negotiations for Nico Paz after agreement between Como and Real Madrid
Inter Milan had shown great interest in counting on Nico Paz, being willing to negotiate the transfer if Como and Real Madrid could not reach a consensus. However, with the completion of the agreement, Inter’s attack was repelled.
Paz’s stay at Como frustrates the plans of the Milan team, which was looking for reinforcements for its formation, but will now have to look for other options on the market.
