Without a doubt, the importance that Nico Paz has had in Como 1907's season is supreme. He has become the orchestra conductor, the great connection between the team's defense and offense, and, alongside Cesc Fabregas, he forms a duo that has been in charge of surprising everyone in Serie A.

That is why the team's sporting director says they will sit down with Real Madrid's board at the end of the season to discuss the player's future.

"He is our guide. His ambitions are completely aligned with ours. Despite having won everything, he has a great desire to learn and compete," recognized Carlalberto Ludi to Corriere dello Sport, when asked about Nico Paz.

However, the fact that the player stands out so much naturally led Real Madrid to activate the buyback option for the player, which was around €10 million, a bargain for a player with Nico's quality. The Merengue club would have already notified Como's board that the player will return to Madrid's ranks for the 2026/27 season.

"We will meet with Real Madrid at the end of the season to understand their intentions. From our point of view, the future is with Nico. We not only expect him, but we want him to stay. We will be prepared for any scenario," concluded the Italian executive.

All of this is part of the restructuring that Real Madrid will undergo for next season, after a disastrous second half of the season for the club, losing the lead they had over FC Barcelona in the league, now with the possibility of seeing their eternal rival crowned in their stadium if they beat them in the new edition of El Clasico.

Adding to that, the lack of seriousness and discipline in certain players has caused a brawl to break out in the Merengue locker room in May, several players even coming to blows, Mbappe vacationing in the middle of his injury, and a false authority on the part of coach Arbeloa, who also seems to have his days numbered on the bench.

Without a doubt, a coach is needed to bring order to a locker room full of egos and committed players willing to give everything for the shirt. This is where players hungry for success, like Nico Paz, come in, who aims to be one of the key pieces of the midfield in the near future for Real Madrid.
