The brass at La Liga giants Real Madrid are reportedly keeping a close eye on the development of Nico Paz, at Como.
Youngster Paz, for his part, secured a departure from the Spanish capital over the summer.
In the knowledge that his route to first-team minutes remained a crowded one at best this coming season, the Argentine youth international made the call to leave his long-time club behind.
Paz, in turn, put pen to paper on terms with Serie A newcomers Como, under the watch of midfield icon Cesc Fàbregas.
The 20-year-old has since enjoyed a fine start to life in Italy, shining from his berth at the heart of the Como engine room.
Such excellence has given rise to early murmurs that Paz’s form has already piqued the attention of those back at Real Madrid, who secured a buyback option as part of the terms of his sale.
And, if the latest word stemming from the media on Saturday is anything to go by, then precisely as much appears to be the case.
As per a report from transfer insider Fabrizio Romano:
‘Real Madrid are monitoring every single game of Nico Páz at Como as they keep control on the player for the future. Real have [a] buy back clause and 50% sell on clause for Páz who’s doing excellent under Fabregas.’
