Nico Paz’s Breakthrough Blocks a Confirmed Real Madrid Signing – 99% Chance He Won’t Come

The football world is closely watching the future of Florian Wirtz. The German midfielder is under contract with Bayer Leverkusen until 2027 but could leave the club sooner than expected. Manchester City, Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid have all shown interest. However, according to Madrid-Barcelona, the Spanish club has reportedly ruled out his signing due to Nico Paz’s outstanding performances.
Real Madrid still owns 50% of its academy product’s rights, along with a buyback clause of around €8-9 million in 2025. This presents a great opportunity for the club. They could re-sign him and integrate him into the first team or even sell him to another club for a higher fee.
If Real Madrid were to pursue Florian Wirtz, the cost would exceed €100 million, similar to what they paid for Bellingham. While the club acknowledges his value, they do not see his signing as a priority at the moment. However, they are keeping a close eye on his development.

His Dream
Nico Paz’s primary goal remains returning to Real Madrid and succeeding in the first team. He feels deeply connected to the club, having grown up in its academy and embracing its values. However, for him, an important factor is the role he would play in the squad. He is only willing to return if he is given a significant role; he does not want to come back just to sit on the bench with limited opportunities.
He is particularly concerned about Arda Güler’s situation, as they have similar profiles, and Güler has barely seen any game time. For now, Nico is fully focused on performing well in the coming months to help Como secure its place in Serie A and avoid struggles in the final matches of the season. He is happy at the club, where he feels like a leader and enjoys a great team environment. Additionally, Cesc Fàbregas has shown great confidence in his talent.
