Carlo Ancelotti drawn on Nico Páz’s potential Real Madrid return | OneFootball

Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti was recently drawn on the possibility of youngster Nico Páz securing a return to the club.

The name of midfielder Páz has of course proven a prominent one in Spain’s capital across the season to date.

As much comes with the Argentine international in the midst of nothing short of a superb campaign.

After departing Real Madrid for Serie A outfit Como last summer in search of regular playing time, Páz has since established himself as a key figure in boss Cesc Fàbregas’ engine room ranks.

All told, across 25 appearances in Italy to date, the 20-year-old has racked up six goals and five assists.

And such ongoing excellence on Páz’s part will not have gone at all unnoticed on the part of his former employers at the Santiago Bernabéu.

As part of the deal which sent their midfield starlet to Como, Real Madrid secured for themselves a buyback clause.

Amid speculation that the brass in Madrid are already considering activating as much, the subject of Páz’s potential return was therefore recently put to Carlo Ancelotti.

And, during an interview with Poretcast, as cited by Fabrizio Romano, the Italian provided a coy response, as follows:

“Bringing back Nico Páz to Real Madrid? He’s doing well, very well…”
