The Argentine playmaker Nico Paz is set to return to Real Madrid after the club activated a buy-back clause in his contract, according to recent developments.
The 21-year-old had impressed during a spell with Italian club Como, and Real Madrid had initially planned to bring him back to the Bernabeu this summer.
However, it appears that Paz will be available on the market for around €60m, giving other clubs an opportunity to sign him permanently.
Chelsea and Arsenal, in particular, may see this as a new transfer opportunity, as they were previously told that Paz would not be available due to his expected return to Madrid's first team.
The change in circumstances is likely due to the surprise return of Jose Mourinho as Real Madrid's manager, which has signaled a shift in the club's recruitment strategy.
Mourinho's appointment has brought a focus on experience, both in the manager and the players he will be working with, including Bernardo Silva and Denzel Dumfries.
This means that unless something dramatic happens in the coming weeks, there may not be a spot for Paz in Real Madrid's team, leaving the door open for other clubs to try and sign him.
Paz is highly regarded, and it's likely that he will attract interest from a number of suitors willing to pay big money for his services.
