Paz, Diaz and Camavinga, the latest from Giovanni Albanese

Nico Paz has become one of the most talked-about young talents in Serie A after his impressive performances under Cesc Fàbregas at Como.

The Argentine midfielder has attracted widespread attention, with many fans and insiders linking him to a potential move to Juventus.

However, the situation is far more complex. Paz is still owned by Real Madrid and, at this stage, his priority is clear: he wants to remain at Como, where he has enjoyed regular playing time and a central role in the project.

In addition, Como’s qualification for European competition has further strengthened his desire to stay.

Real Madrid had initially been open to extending his loan spell, but the Spanish club has recently reconsidered its position, reopening the scenario and attracting interest from other top clubs in Italy.

Despite Juventus being mentioned in discussions between Juventus and Real Madrid regarding possible collaborations and player exchanges, the Bianconeri currently appear to be outside the realistic race for the player.

The main obstacle is competitive level: Juventus are not currently competing in the Champions League, while Nico Paz’s development path is closely tied to playing at the highest European level. For this reason, a move to Turin at this stage looks highly unlikely, if not impossible.

Real Madrid–Juventus dialogue: Brahim Díaz and Camavinga discussed

While Nico Paz appears out of reach, the transfer dialogue between Juventus and Real Madrid remains active on other fronts.

One of the key names is Brahim Díaz, a player highly appreciated by Luciano Spalletti. The Juventus coach sees him as the type of attacking midfielder capable of solving several tactical issues and raising the overall technical level of the squad.

However, Brahim Díaz’s priority is to stay at Real Madrid, which makes any negotiation difficult. Juventus are still monitoring the situation closely and are expected to send representatives to the Club World Cup to maintain contact and demonstrate strong interest ahead of a potential late-window opportunity.

Another name that has been mentioned in recent weeks is Eduardo Camavinga. According to reports, the French midfielder was proposed in early discussions, although his preference is also to remain at a Champions League-level club, making other destinations more likely than Juventus at this stage.

The wider context suggests Juventus are also evaluating potential midfield exits and reinforcements, especially if offers arrive for players such as Thuram, which could generate significant capital gains.

Market strategy and Douglas Luiz evaluation

Juventus are also working on internal squad planning. Douglas Luiz is expected to return from his loan spell at Aston Villa, with the English club not expected to activate a permanent deal.

Luciano Spalletti is reportedly keen to evaluate the Brazilian midfielder during pre-season before making a final decision on his future.

The player himself is open to proving his value again, although he aims to play a much more influential role than during his first spell in Turin, which was affected by physical issues.

Overall, Juventus are trying to balance ambition with realism. While they continue to explore high-profile targets linked to Real Madrid, the club is aware that most elite players prioritise Champions League football, which currently limits their options.

As highlighted by Giovanni Albanese, the Juventus–Real Madrid axis remains active, but any concrete operation will depend heavily on player willingness, timing, and Champions League qualification status.
