Como sporting director Carlalberto Ludi has addressed Nico Paz’s future, confirming that Real Madrid retains a buy-back option for the Argentine midfielder.

Speaking to Radio Radio in comments reported by Tuttomercatoweb, Ludi said Paz is “100% a Como player.” He acknowledged that Madrid can exercise its option within a specified transfer-window deadline, describing a potential sale as recognition of Como’s work with the player.

Como previously confirmed that Paz would remain for the 2026-27 season at his own request, with Madrid retaining a unilateral option to bring him back for 2027-28.

Paz has been central to Como’s rise under Cesc Fabregas. Ludi said the club would manage the situation throughout the season through its relationship with Madrid, while continuing to enjoy the midfielder’s contribution.
