It is understood that RB Leipzig are considering whether to formalise their interest in the 21-year-old Argentinian attacking midfielder Nico Paz. Paz may become available this summer due to a change in Real Madrid's thinking. The Spanish club are reportedly considering activating a €10m buy-back clause from Como, where Paz has played since August 2024, and then immediately selling him for a fee of approximately €60m. This change is because manager Jose Mourinho does not consider Paz to be a fit for his system. Significant competition for the player is expected, with Borussia Dortmund also considering a move. The Italian champions, Inter Milan, are also serious contenders. In the Premier League, Tottenham, Arsenal and Chelsea have been made aware of the developments. During the 2025/2026 season in Serie A, Paz scored 12 goals and provided 7 assists in 35 appearances. He has earned 10 caps for Argentina, scoring one goal. His current valuation on Transfermarkt is €80.00m. Como initially acquired 50% of the player's rights from Real Madrid for a reported sum of €6 million.
