After the Real Madrid-Como deal: Nico Paz explains that he will stay at Como for another year
With the arrival of Bernardo Silva and competition in Real Madrid's midfield getting tougher, Nico Paz decided to pursue another season at Como for his development. Madrid buyback €9m and immediately sign Como for €60m; €80m buyback right for Madrid next year. This was officially confirmed by Madrid; The player also took to social media to explain his decision.
Real Madrid have signed Bernardo Silva to boost their creativity in the midfield this summer as they strengthen the defense in their squad construction for next season. With Arda Guler, Jude Bellingham and Brahim Diaz, the competition for the attacking midfield position has intensified. In this context, it has become difficult for young midfield talent Nico Bass to get an immediate starting spot.
Given this situation, Nico Bass has now decided that the best course of action for his development is to continue another year at Como. Following this, Real Madrid activated the €9 million buyback clause in his contract this summer and then sold him back to Como for €60 million. Madrid also hold a €80 million unilateral buyback right for next season. Como accepted this proposal; Real Madrid have officially announced the deal.
According to MARCA, the day before the transfer announcement, Nico Paz posted a message on social media explaining his position: After weeks of thinking, the best choice for his career now is to stay another year in Como; He said it was a unique opportunity to continue playing in the club that nurtured him and prepare better for the future. He also noted that it was the right decision for his development and for Real Madrid.
Given last season's flurry, and the tough competition that has developed in the midfield, this quote seems like a natural path for Nico Pass. Now that Como gets uninterrupted game time and exercises Real Madrid's buyback option next season, he could return as an even more evolved player.
