Aspen: Real Madrid is looking for a replacement for Joan Armene and plans to repurchase Nico Paz and Cheema next year

According to the Ass, Real Madrid is planning to buy back Nico Pas and Chema in 2026 to enhance and update the team's future roster.

Nico Pas' situation has been clearer: the club has conveyed to him that he is included in his plans for next season. Although the promise was verbal and without written documents, it was enough to turn him down a Tottenham offer of up to 70 million euros this summer.

Currently, Nico Pas has performed very well in Como, with 3 goals and 3 assists this season, showing amazing strength in the first six league rounds. Under the terms of the contract, Real Madrid can buy him back for €9 million in 2026 or €10 million in 2027.

On the other hand, Chema has gradually become a compelling choice. His impressive performance in Stuttgart has become a central midfield player. Chema's technical characteristics are similar to Joan Améni and can be used as a pure defensive midfielder. If Real Madrid decides to sign him, they will have to pay about 10 million euros to buy out the remaining 50% ownership. Given his current growth rate and performance, the investment looks very worthwhile.

These two potential signings will not only bring fresh blood to the team, but also enhance the depth of the midfield, especially in the absence of a suitable substitute for Joan Améni. With Sebalos’ contract coming to an expiration (2027), these transfers are particularly important. In the next few years, Nico Pas and Chema will both become important assets of Real Madrid.
