With the Real Madrid presidential elections approaching, Jose Mourinho is expected to be appointed as the head coach, and the Portuguese coach's first transfer move has also been revealed. Nico Paz, whose value increased to 80 million euros due to his performance at Como, is widely expected to return to Madrid.
COUNTDOWN BEGINS FOR MOURINHO
All eyes at Real Madrid are on the presidential elections to be held next week. Ahead of the race between Florentino Perez and Enrique Riquelme, Jose Mourinho's name stands out for the managerial position. According to claims in the Spanish press, the Portuguese coach's return to the role will be finalized after the elections.
NICO PAZ RETURNS
According to a report by AS newspaper, Mourinho's first signing in his second term will be Nico Paz. The young star, who came through the Real Madrid academy, is expected to rejoin the Spanish giants after the election process is completed. The report stated that there is no doubt within the club regarding the player's return.
SHONE AT COMO
Nico Paz, who transferred to Como in 2024, attracted attention with his season in Italy. The 21-year-old midfielder scored 13 goals and provided 8 assists in 40 matches for the Serie A side, playing a key role in securing the team's first-ever Champions League qualification. Thanks to his performance, Paz caught the eye of Europe and saw a significant rise in his market value.
VALUE JUMPED FROM 15 MILLION EUROS TO 80 MILLION EUROS
It was noted that Nico Paz, who had a market value of approximately 15 million euros when he left Real Madrid, has now reached 80 million euros. However, it was stated that the Madrid club could activate the buy-back clause in the player's contract, reportedly valued at under 10 million euros.
COMPETITION MAY INCREASE FOR ARDA GULER
Nico Paz's return will also intensify competition among Real Madrid's young stars. It is assessed that Arda Guler, who plays in the midfield and attacking lines, will face a new rival in the fight for playing time if Paz joins the team. How Jose Mourinho will plan with the young players has already become a topic of curiosity.
