Real Madrid Castilla star Nico Paz is set to join Como on a permanent transfer for six million euros, according to Fabrizio Romano. Real Madrid have a 50% sell-on clause in his new contract, and it also includes a buy-back clause.
All summer, Nico Paz has been linked to numerous La Liga clubs for a permanent move as it was blatantly obvious that the Argentine is too good to be playing for Castilla in the third division. He would now be moving to newly promoted Como in the Serie A, where Cesc Fabregas is building a rather exciting project.
He scored many important goals for Castilla last season, as well as a Champions League game-winner against Napoli for the first team — which is something he will always have on his CV.
Paz has a lot of potential but considering the amount of talent Real Madrid have in his preferred position, it was always going to be tough for him to get promoted. If he does end up being a really good player, Los Blancos have the option to bring him back either to play or sell for a higher price, so it is a good deal for all parties involved.
