Juventus have reportedly made initial inquiries about highly rated Argentine playmaker Nico Paz, although completing a deal appears far from straightforward at this stage.

According to reports cited by TuttoJuve, the talented attacking midfielder is expected to return to Real Madrid after his impressive spell with Como 1907.

The Spanish giants are widely expected to activate their €9 million buy-back clause next summer, officially bringing the young star back to Madrid.

However, that does not necessarily guarantee that he will remain part of the first-team squad for the long term. Real Madrid already possess enormous depth in attacking positions, making competition for playing time extremely intense.

Players such as Vinícius Júnior, Rodrygo, Brahim Díaz, Arda Güler and Jude Bellingham are already competing for similar attacking roles, while rising Argentine prospect Franco Mastantuono is also expected to be part of the club’s future plans.

With so many creative players fighting for minutes, Nico Paz could face difficulties securing a consistent role.

Como Hope to Keep Rising Star

Despite growing transfer speculation, Como are still hopeful of keeping the 19-year-old for another season.

Sporting director Carloalberto Ludi recently addressed the ongoing rumors, explaining that similar stories circulated last season regarding Paz’s future before he ultimately stayed focused on the club’s project.

The Serie A side are reportedly preparing for every possible outcome, but internally there remains optimism that Paz could continue his development at Como instead of immediately returning to Spain permanently.

For Juventus, the situation remains complicated. The Turin club continue to monitor developments carefully, yet they may need patience before any realistic opening appears.

Meanwhile, Inter Milan are also believed to be following the player closely, adding another layer of competition to one of the most intriguing transfer situations involving young talent this summer.
