Real Madrid decisively rebuffed Manchester United’s interest in 20-year-old Nico Paz, confirming his future at the Spanish giants through structured buy-back options.
fotnet24.net reports that Manchester United eyed the talented playmaker keenly. The Red Devils monitored his progress this season. Their pursuit met a setback as Real Madrid stands resolute.
Como signed Nico Paz for €6 million. Real Madrid retained a 50% sell-on clause and secured buy-back options. The Spanish club can re-sign him for €8 million this summer, €9 million in 2026, and €10 million in 2027.
At Como, the 20-year-old has played 23 Serie A games this season. He scored six goals and provided five assists. His dynamic play makes him a standout talent under manager Cesc Fabregas.
Nico Paz earned his Argentina debut in October 2024. Lionel Messi described him as “crazy and beyond his age.” The young star showed remarkable maturity on the field.
Interest also came from Arsenal and Tottenham. However, Real Madrid remains firm. His representatives confirmed that a summer transfer will not happen. Paz favors a return to Madrid in the near future.
Meanwhile, Manchester United plans major changes. The club values Marcus Rashford at £60 million. They target Juventus’ Dusan Vlahovic to boost their attack. United also considers offloading Andre Onana for a potential move to the Saudi Pro League.
