Real Madrid are moving decisively as they prepare for the return of one of their most promising young talents, Nico Paz.
However, the situation comes with a clear deadline that the club cannot afford to ignore.
According to El Chiringuito TV, Real Madrid have until May 30 to activate the buy-back clause included in Nico’s deal with Como.
The fee is set at just €9 million, a figure widely considered a bargain given the player’s current market value, which is estimated to be around €60 million.
Real Madrid are confident
This financial gap is precisely why the operation is viewed internally as almost automatic.
From a sporting and economic standpoint, bringing Nico back represents a low-risk, high-reward decision.
The Argentine has developed impressively during his time in Italy, strengthening Madrid’s belief that he can contribute to the first team in the near future.
Despite the growing certainty around the move, the player himself has remained quite discreet in his public comments.

Speaking recently about his future, he said that his focus remains on finishing the season strongly with Como before making any decisions.
“I’m 100% focused here, in Como. I want to give my all on the pitch. Then, if an opportunity arises in the future, we’ll see,” he explained.
Internally, Real Madrid are already planning with Nico in mind for next season, seeing him as part of their evolving midfield structure.
The only potential complication would be a sudden change in the player’s stance, something that, at this stage, is not expected.
Hence, all indications point towards Real Madrid activating the clause within the given timeframe.
With the deadline approaching, the situation is straightforward – act before May 30 or delay the operation by an entire year, where the clause’s fee will increase.
Given the favourable terms and Nico’s rapid development, there is little room for hesitation.
