Real Madrid’s transfer business looks done for now. With no players leaving, there is little space to accommodate any further arrivals.
That said, the window remains open and Madrid are still active participants. This summer they have sold a number of Castilla players, including some of the most prominent names from the youth setup.
One of them, Nico Paz, is continuing for another season at Como and stands out as one of the brightest prospects. Reportedly, Tottenham Hotspur have submitted an opening bid of 50 million euros for the Argentine, and Real Madrid hold a 50 percent sell-on clause on any future transfer.

There were rumours earlier in the summer that Paz could be brought back immediately, but both the club and the player decided he should spend another year in Italy before the opportunity to wear white again arises.
Just weeks ago, Paz himself said he hopes to return to Real Madrid in the future. The club is also closely monitoring his progress, so a reunion looks more like a matter of time.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Tottenham have officially made their move, though neither Como nor Paz has given any response yet.
From the perspective of his Real Madrid future, it would not be wise for Paz to accept this deal. Under the current agreement between Como and Madrid, Los Blancos can re-sign him in 2026 for just 9 million euros.
That clause, however, would vanish if he were sold to Tottenham, making a future return to Madrid much harder and far more expensive, as it would require negotiating on Tottenham’s terms.
The best move for Nico Paz is to stay patient, play another season with Serie A underdogs Como, and prepare himself for a return to Real Madrid either next season or the one after.
