Real Madrid blocked from flipping Nico Paz for quick profit

Real Madrid’s plan to trigger a reported €10m buy-back clause for Nico Paz and immediately sell him for around €60m cannot go ahead because of transfer rules. Journalist José Félix Díaz said: "Real Madrid cannot buy back Nico Paz to then resell him in the summer market.

Impossible. Twelve weeks must pass, that is, until the winter market." Any player registered in the summer cannot be transferred permanently again until the January window. The timing issue complicates Mourinho’s midfield planning. Madrid already have considerable depth in the middle of the park, including Jude Bellingham and the recently arrived Bernardo Silva, and Mourinho—while monitoring returning loanees—was unable to promise the regular first‑team minutes Paz has enjoyed under Cesc Fabregas at Como.

Paz appears content to remain in Italy for now.
