TA: Paz is likely to return to Real Madrid next season. The player rejected Tottenham, Inter Milan and other teams this summer

November 13 According to a joint report by TheAthletic Real Madrid reporter Mario Cortegana and Serie A reporter James HornCastle, Paz may return to Real Madrid next season.

In the 2024-25 season, Paz joined Serie A Como in his first season and scored 6 goals and 9 assists in 35 games. This made Real Madrid seriously consider the idea of ​​buying him back for 8 million euros this summer. But the final transaction did not happen for two reasons: First, Paz was only willing to return if he could play an important role, and the second and fourth must be approved by Real Madrid new coach Alonso.

Alonso recognizes Paz's ability, but he believes that now is not a good time for players to return to Real Madrid. The team prioritizes reinforcements in other positions. At the same time, Paz has continued his good form in Como this season, and his goal is to represent the Argentina national team in next summer's World Cup.

Paz’s ultimate goal is still to return to Real Madrid, so he also rejected the interest of many clubs this summer, including Tottenham and Inter Milan. Real Madrid, Como and Paz's agents have been in close contact and have not discussed updating Real Madrid's buy-back terms.

However, Real Madrid is also paying attention to other midfielders. According to TA, Crystal Palace midfielder Walton and AZ Alkmaar’s Keith Smit are both within the scope of their discussions. At the same time, they have not forgotten Paz and continue to pay close attention to his development. It is very likely that they will bring him back to Madrid next summer.

This summer, a Premier League team made a high offer to Paz, but Como rejected the offer after negotiating with Real Madrid and negotiated new buyback terms to reflect Paz's rising value. Players are eager to play for Real Madrid one day, so Como has not made much plans for Paz's future at the moment.

But if Real Madrid still cannot make room for him next season, and Como gets the European qualification, staying for one year may also be an attractive option for Paz.
