Real Madrid's €60m sell‑off could hand Liverpool a generational talent

Liverpool have an unexpected chance to sign Argentine attacking midfielder Nico Paz after Real Madrid activate a €10m buy‑back clause and look to sell him for around €60m, 21‑year‑old impressed with six goals, 12 assists and 91 tackles in Serie A for Como last season, making him a rare blend of attack and defence. Liverpool are looking to transform their attack this summer after an incredibly disappointing campaign last time out. Mohamed Salah has departed, leaving Liverpool searching for more answers. They had hoped to have already done that with their record-breaking arrivals in 2025, but things didn't turn out that way. Now the club is scouting for replacements. Liverpool's €100m offer for Yan Diomande was rejected, showing that some targets are unavailable. The club will need to look elsewhere for a striker.

Liverpool eye €60m Real Madrid midfielder Nico Paz

Nico Paz was unbelievably good for Como last season, registering six goals, 12 assists and 91 tackles in Serie A. His defensive work made him the top attacking midfielder in Europe by combined metrics. Real Madrid will activate their buyback clause for Paz, costing them around €10m, but they have no room in the squad, prompting a sale. Los Blancos aim to fetch around €60m, a fee that could look like a steal later.

Richard Hughes faces deadline to clinch ‘scary’ winger Yan Diomande

Paz is an extraordinary talent who can fit into any team and would immediately boost Liverpool. His blend of attacking output and defensive work is rare for a 21‑year‑old. Richard Hughes is urged to make the deal happen, as Liverpool could consider it a routine win. The move would address the void left by Salah's departure.
