Manager Fabrizio Romano has announced that Nico Paz will transfer to Real Madrid from Como next summer, while David Alaba is set to leave the club as a free agent at the season’s end. The respected Italian journalist also suggested that Antonio Rudiger might stay at Madrid, despite his contract expiring next summer.
Romano stated on his YouTube channel, “I anticipate Nico Paz will join Real Madrid in the summer of 2026, not in January.” He added, “There are two significant points to address regarding Real Madrid. Firstly, I can confirm what I have been saying for months: David Alaba is anticipated to depart the club as a free agent this summer.”
According to Romano, “Currently, there are no discussions concerning contract extensions, financial arrangements, or technical projects. Hence, it seems highly likely, around 98%, that David Alaba will begin a new chapter in his career this summer.”
Regarding Rudiger, Romano noted, “Saudi Arabian clubs have shown considerable interest in his situation and are closely monitoring it. However, Real Madrid and Antonio Rudiger have yet to make a decision. We aim to focus on this season, as Real Madrid typically signs players nearing the end of their deals in summer. Therefore, decisions about Rudiger will happen in months, not immediately.”
He pointed out, “There are no official negotiations or offers from Saudi Arabia right now. A previous offer was rejected when Real Madrid decided to retain Rudiger, as he also wished to stay. By 2026, we will see if Madrid opts to renew Rudiger’s contract or let him go.”
Romano concluded, “Overall, it’s almost certain that David Alaba will depart Real Madrid during the summer transfer window.”
Fan Take:
