Real Madrid to make a final decision on 20-year-old wonderkid’s signing soon – Romano
Real Madrid have completed some massive signings this summer and are on the verge of closing some more with Alvaro Carreras likely being the next one to be announced.
As they look for replacements and reinforcements in midfield, it is thus not surprising that they are considering options who can arrive at a lower fee as well in addition to the standard Galactico signings they are on the lookout for.
Nico Paz, on that front, is one player who has seriously tempted the Real Madrid administration as a player who can return home especially given his recent history at the club.
Decision expected soon
Real Madrid have been in contact with the academy sensation for a few weeks now and have conveyed their interest in signing him back as an option for the new manager. The player, however, has had doubts over returning.
As relayed by Fabrizio Romano in a recent report, Los Blancos will make a final decision soon on the Nico Paz situation and clarity can be expected swiftly.
More contacts will follow in the coming days as Real Madrid can bring the Argentine star back for just €8 million. The buy-back clause, needless to say, is a bargain in today’s market given his high ceiling.
Internal talks are taking place with Xabi Alonso over the role he expects from a new midfielder and it is also likely that the manager will have a personal word with the player if he deems him to be a good fit.
Nico, for his part, wants to know what kind of role he will have in the team if he ends up returning to the Santiago Bernabeu.
Meanwhile, Como hope to keep the 20-year-old for at least one more season before his inevitable move back to Spain, but there is now a sense of urgency in Madrid to secure the youngster’s ticket back home. The coming days will be critical.
In what will come as a pleasing development for fans, Fabrizio Romano reports that Real Madrid forward Rodrygo could make a comeback from his injury earlier than expected.
The 25-year-old Brazilian international has been out of action since March after suffering an ACL injury during a La Liga game against Getafe.
Due to the complete rupture of the ACL, coupled with associated meniscus damage, it was suggested that the attacker was staring at a lengthy time out on the sidelines and might not return until 2027.
In fact, the forward’s father, Eric Goes, recently stated in an interview that the Real Madrid ace could be back in February next year, just before the business end of the campaign.
Rodrygo could be back in December
However, as per the update from Romano, Rodrygo’s comeback could happen well before that expected date.
Indeed, if things continue to progress at the current rate, the 25-year-old attacker might return to action in December or by January 2027 at the latest.
This will come as a welcome boost for Jose Mourinho & co., considering that Rodrygo is a valuable player for the team.
Even though he had endured a tough spell prior to his form, the Brazilian’s versatility, work rate off the ball, and eye for a goal make him an asset.
Rodrygo eager to be back at his best
The update from Romano further states that Rodrygo feels very grateful to Real Madrid for all the help and support they have given him during this difficult phase of his career.
As such, the Brazilian international has made it a mission to return to action in the best shape possible and make an impact from the get-go.
The attacker has only recently begun working on the pitch with the ball indicating the significant progress he has made on the road to recovery.
And, if there are no setbacks, Real Madrid could recover one of their ace attackers before the end of the current year.
So far in his career, Rodrygo has made 297 appearances for Real Madrid, scoring 71 goals. He has a contract with the club until 2028.
