He turns down Simeone to sign for Real Madrid, he is better than Arda Güler, confirmed

Real Madrid is in need of talent in midfield. Although Arda Güler has dropped back this season to help build up play, the truth is that he needs help. Without Modric or Kroos, Xabi Alonso has turned to the Turk to bring creativity to the midfield.

The experiment is working, but it was already clear against PSG in the Club World Cup that the team struggles when Arda Güler is too alone in the center. The "15" is a footballer with exceptional vision, capable of breaking lines and surprising from the second line. However, in a team the size of Real Madrid, he can't be the only one responsible for creating soccer.

As of today, Tchouaméni and Valverde provide muscle, balance, and range, but they lack the organizational ability that's needed in the most demanding matches. The board is aware and is already working on solutions for 2026.

The chosen one for the midfield

To address this problem, Florentino Pérez and Xabi Alonso have set their sights on one of the most promising talents in European soccer. We're talking about Nico Paz, who has become the best midfielder in Serie A under Cesc Fàbregas's guidance at Como. His performance is surprising both insiders and outsiders, making it clear that he's ready to make the leap to Bernabéu.

Nico Paz has burst onto the scene in Italy, combining technical quality with personality in key moments. At 21 years old, he's able to steer the team naturally, setting the pace and making runs into the opponent's box. His goals and assists confirm him as one of the revelations of the season, attracting the interest of major European clubs.

A classic-flavored battle for Nico Paz

The list of offers is long and among them is Simeone's Atlético de Madrid. The Argentine coach sees Nico Paz as the missing piece to balance his squad and raise the quality in midfield. However, the player himself is clear about his priority: He only wants to return to Real Madrid.

Nico Paz knows that his future is at Bernabéu, where he was already developed and where he dreams of succeeding in white. His inner circle also shares this vision and considers it the most logical option for his career.

An easy operation for Florentino Pérez

The key lies in the forward-thinking vision Florentino Pérez had. When he allowed Nico Paz to leave for Como, he kept a buy-back option that will now be decisive.

Real Madrid will be able to bring him back for just 10 million euros, an insignificant amount compared to the performance he's already delivering in Serie A.

Xabi Alonso wants him in his project and the fans are already dreaming of seeing him alongside Arda Güler, forming a creative duo that brings back the magic Modric and Kroos used to provide. With Nico Paz, the future of the white midfield seems secure.
