Nico Paz: Como Contract Extension
Real Madrid have officially confirmed that Nico Paz will remain at Como, noting that the deal was made at the player’s own request. Como will purchase the remaining 50 per cent of his contract for a fee of €60m, resulting in an overall transfer value for the player of €120m. Real Madrid, Como 1907, and Nico Paz have reached an agreement for the player to remain at the Italian club for the 2026-2027 season. The agreement also provides that Real Madrid retains a unilateral buy-back option for the player’s federative rights for the 2027-2028 season. Nico Paz stated on his official Instagram page that after many weeks of reflection, he has decided that the best option for his career at this time is to stay at the club for another year. Como had acquired Nico Paz for €6m in 2024 in a deal that gave the Spanish club either 50 per cent of the future sale fee or a buy-back option at €9m. That option was never activated, and the clubs negotiated a new deal.
