Como confirm Nico Paz stay as Real Madrid retain buy-back option for Argentine star

Staying at Como Paz will stay at Como for the 2026/27 season on loan from Real Madrid, his parent club announced Monday.

Impact Paz has been a regular starter for Como in each of the last two seasons, starting in 66 of his 70 league appearances and racking up 18 goals with 14 assists. Having created 105 total chances over those two seasons and attempting over 100 shots in each campaign, Paz's role and importance at Como were expected to be huge ahead of the team's inaugural Champions League campaign, and the Argentina international will feature for them in the competition. The deal includes an option so Real Madrid can bring Paz, who's representing Argentina at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, back for the 2027/28 season.

Features in midfield rotation Paz recorded one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 3-1 victory versus Jordan.

Impact Paz registered one shot, one tackle (one won) and four duel wins across his 61 minutes in Saturday's 3-1 win over Jordan before being replaced as part of coach Lionel Scaloni's rotations in the second half, contributing to a midfield performance that kept Jordan's defensive block under sustained pressure. The Como midfielder's technical intelligence and ability to find spaces give Argentina an interesting squad option heading into the knockout rounds.

Explained: Why Real Madrid cannot re-sign in-demand Como star Nico Paz for €10m & immediately sell him for €60m in summer transfer window

Misses session but due back Paz missed Thursday training as a precaution and is expected back for Friday session, Gaston Edul reports.

Impact Paz was back after a month out with a knee injury and used the Iceland friendly to put his fitness concerns to rest, but a cautious approach from coach Lionel Scaloni and the staff kept him out of Thursday's session as they managed the hamstring area around his left knee. The move was purely precautionary and he was due back for Friday's training. Even fully fit, though, Paz is unlikely to feature heavily for Argentina given the volume of attacking talent competing for places in Lionel Scaloni's squad.

Dani Carvajal to Como?! Cesc Fabregas targets THREE Real Madrid players including highly-rated striker as Italian side prepare to lose Nico Paz in bargain deal

Back in action against Iceland Paz (knee) played 58 minutes during Tuesday's international friendly game versus Iceland, gaining form ahead of the World Cup opener against Algeria.

Impact Paz is unlikely to start in the first few games of the major tournament but offers a talented attacking option if the defending champions need to add playmaking and distance-shooting ability on the wings. If he avoids further fitness complications, he'll compete for playing time with all of Nicolas Gonzalez, Giuliano Simeone and Lionel Messi. The Como man has scored one goal across three international appearances in 2026.

JUNE 9 • ROTOWIRE

Set to feature vs Iceland Paz (knee) completed his first training session Sunday after being sidelined since May 10 and will be available for Tuesday's friendly against Iceland, according to Miamiherald.

Impact Paz's return to training is an encouraging development after the knee injury had raised doubts over his involvement in Argentina's early World Cup fixtures. The 21-year-old attacking midfielder is unlikely to start against Algeria on June 16 but his availability gives coach Lionel Scaloni a valuable option in the creative midfield zone, particularly given the injury concerns surrounding several other attacking players in the squad. His recovery ahead of the tournament opener is a timely boost for the defending world champions.

Could return soon Paz (strain) didn't play in Argentina's friendly against Honduras on Saturday, but coach Lionel Scaloni revealed that "Nico could have been available today", Telemundo Deportes rep...

Impact Paz has shown positive signs in the final days of his recovery process from the muscle injury he picked up in May, and he's expected to be an option in Argentina's World Cup opener against Algeria. While he's unlikely to start, his availability would give the team a solid option, adding differential talent in the attacking midfield zone. He might contend for playing time with Nicolas Gonzalez (strain), Lionel Messi (hamstring) and Giuliano Simeone, gaining increased value if one of the other injured players fails to recover in the short term.

JUNE 7 • ROTOWIRE

Final days of recovery Paz (muscular) is in the final days of his recovery and is trending toward being available for Argentina's friendly against Iceland on June 9, according to Hernan Castillo.

Impact Paz himself posted on his Instagram Story that he is in his final days of recovery, with the coaching staff taking a cautious approach by keeping him out of the first pre-tournament friendly against Honduras to avoid any setback. The midfielder's return is expected for the beginning of next week and will be a welcome boost for coach Scaloni given his importance to Argentina's creative setup, and all signs are pointing toward him being available when the tournament gets underway.

JUNE 4 • ROTOWIRE

Nearing return Paz (strain) is in the "final days of recovery" ahead of Argentina's World Cup opener, the midfielder posted to his Instagram Story.

Impact Paz was a concern for the World Cup opener after a strain left him out of some training and the final match of the league season, but he is now seeing improvements. The midfielder took to his Instagram to say he is in his "final days of recovery," likely meaning a return is on the horizon. It is still unlikely he will make their friendly on Saturday or Tuesday as they approach the situation cautiously, although his addition for their opener against Algeria on June 16 seems to be trending in the right direction.

JUNE 3 • ROTOWIRE

Still recovering from strain Paz is dealing with a muscle strain, which has brought concern to the midfielder ahead of the 2026 World Cup, according to Lucas Gatti of El Desmarque.

Impact Paz is now a storyline to watch for Argentina heading into the 20236 World Cup, as the midfielder suffered a muscle strain that he is yet to recover from. This is bringing concern with the tournament, just a week from starting, as he may have to be dropped from the squad if the injury persists. They will watch his status closely in the next week as he tries to make his World Cup debut, with Paulo Dybala, Claudio Echeverri or Matias Soule as possible replacements if he does miss out on the squad.

DNP in Cremonese bout Paz (knee) didn't feature in Sunday's 4-1 victory over Cremonese.

Impact Paz was available but was spared, as his side cruised to an easy victory, and he wasn't 100 percent. He closed a remarkable season with 12 goals, six assists, 121 shots (48 on target) and 51 chances created in 35 displays. His faith lies in Real Madrid's hands, as they might activate a buy-back clause.

Picked for bench Paz (knee) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Cremonese.

Impact Paz was a late call for Sunday, but has passed his testing and is with the rest of the team, with the attacker earning a role on the bench. After missing the last match, he will hope to see time in the season finale, scoring 12 goals and six assists this season in his 35 appearances (33 starts) this campaign.

Makes squad for last game Paz (knee) has been called up for Sunday's match versus Cremonese.

Impact Paz will make the trip with the rest of the team and will continue to be evaluated on game day. He's currently expected to be deployed off the bench if necessary, as Como need to win and some favorable results to improve their position, and he's in the running to be called by Argentina for the World Cup. He has taken at least one shot in 18 straight outings, amassing 64 (27 on target) and scoring six goals during that stretch.

MAY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Cremonese match Paz (knee) "hasn't trained a lot but feels a little better. Until there's a chance, he'll try to recover over the next 24/48 hours," coach Cesc Fabregas announced.

Impact Paz has been cleared of more substantial problems, but his availability for the season finale on Sunday will go down to the wire because of a lingering bruise. The gaffer alluded that he could be selected even if he's not 100 percent. Maxence Caqueret and Jesus Rodriguez soaked up his minutes last week.
