Real Madrid is continuing to prepare for the upcoming season, with Carlo Ancelotti’s team needing to make a significant performance improvement. While Ancelotti prefers to avoid publicly discussing next season to keep his players focused, the club is already planning for the future behind the scenes. Florentino Pérez and José Ángel Sánchez are working hard to prepare for the 2025-2026 season, considering the challenges ahead for the team.
One of the key areas of focus is Nico Paz, who has begun to stand out in Italy’s Serie A with Como. Cesc Fàbregas, Como’s manager, has expressed his desire to keep Paz, noting that while Real Madrid has the option to buy him back, Como is not willing to sell him for 40 or 50 million euros as they plan to build their future around him.
Despite Fàbregas’s comments, Real Madrid’s position remains firm. According to José Félix Díaz from “Marca,” the club has always intended to retain the rights to Nico Paz, and his development at Como aligns with the club’s long-term strategy. Even if Como demands a higher price, Real Madrid is likely to exercise their buy-back option.
This reassures fans, as Nico Paz could play a key role in the club’s future. Meanwhile, the question remains whether Carlo Ancelotti will stay on as manager for the 2024-2025 season, or if Xabi Alonso will take over, depending on Ancelotti’s performance.
