Real Madrid prefers Como loan move for Nico Paz amid permanent approaches
Real Madrid playmaker Nico Paz is poised to return to Como on a season-long loan after manager José Mourinho offered no guarantees of playing time, with Madrid favoring the move to avoid losing him permanently.
Nico Paz is set to rejoin Como for another season-long loan after Real Madrid manager José Mourinho gave the young playmaker no assurances of first-team opportunities.
Both the Italian club and the player are keen on the arrangement, despite Paz attracting concrete interest from several elite clubs across Europe. The midfielder enjoyed a highly productive development spell in Italy during the previous campaign.
Real Madrid strongly favor a return to Como, as exploring other European options would likely force a permanent departure rather than a temporary development loan. Club executives are eager to retain long-term control over the 21-year-old’s future.
Staying under Cesc Fàbregas’s guidance in Serie A ensures Paz regular playing time while protecting his contract status with the Spanish giants.
