Como Aims to Repeat Nico Paz Strategy with New Real Madrid Talent
Real Madrid is widely anticipated to bring Nico Paz back from Como during the upcoming summer transfer window. The 21-year-old midfielder's return to the Bernabeu is reportedly confirmed, following two impressive seasons in Italian football, and he is expected to play a significant role starting next season.
Como originally acquired Paz for a modest €6 million in the summer of 2024. While they will only generate a €3 million profit upon his likely return to Real Madrid, the Italian club greatly benefited from his contributions to Cesc Fabregas' squad over the past two campaigns. This successful venture has naturally led Como to seek out their next emerging talent, with Real Madrid's academy, Valdebebas, once again being their primary focus.
Reports from Nicolo Schira indicate that Como aims to replicate their success with Paz by targeting Daniel Yanez. Yanez, a 19-year-old Real Madrid prospect who has recently been on the fringes of the first team and made a notable impression as a substitute against Elche, is considered a prime candidate to join the newly promoted Serie A club this summer.
Yanez Poised to Continue Como's Youth Pipeline
Como has an established track record of recruiting promising young talents, a strategy that has consistently yielded excellent results. Beyond Paz, they have notably brought in players such as Jacobo Ramon, Assane Diao, and Jesus Rodriguez, all originating from Spanish shores. Yanez could very well be the next addition to this successful roster.
Yanez has consistently delivered strong performances for Real Madrid in the current UEFA Youth League season. There's a growing sentiment that this summer presents an opportune moment for him to transition into senior football as the newest La Fábrica graduate. Similar to the Paz deal, any potential agreement is highly likely to feature a buy-back clause. Given the strong existing relationship between Como and Real Madrid, the Italian side appears to be the leading contender to secure his signature.
