Real Madrid meet Jose Mourinho's immediate transfer demand for transfer with strict deadline

Jose Mourinho's transfer demand is being met by Real Madrid, with news that they are set to bring back a former player for a dirt-cheap fee.

Mourinho is preparing for second spell at Los Blancos after agreeing to leave Benfica and replace Alvaro Arbeloa at the helm.

The two-time Champions League winner has signed a contract until 2029, with the 63-year-old poised to return once Real's presidential elections take place on June 7.

Long-time president Florentino Perez, who is desperate to bring Mourinho back, is going up against renewable energy entrepreneur Enrique Riquelme.

Mourinho's return is a formality if Perez is successful and after reportedly laying down the key conditions for him to come back to the Santiago Bernabeu, it appears as though he has already been involved in transfer business.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Mourinho has called for exciting talent Nico Paz to be brought back for his second tenure and his wish is set to be granted.

Paz joined Real's academy from CD Tenerife and played eight times in the 2023/24 season.

He then joined Serie A side Como, where he has continued his development to the point that Real feel he is now ready to be a key part of the first-team.

Paz scored 13 times in 40 games to help Cesc Fabregas's side make history and secure Champions League qualification in the 2025/26 season.

AS say that the Argentina international has become a "game-changer" for Como but has known for a few weeks that his future lies at Real and is ready for the challenge ahead.

Real played a buy-back clause in the deal that took the 21-year-old and can activate that option for around €9 million euros.

The only catch is that they must do it before June 30, by which time Paz is likely to still be at the World Cup for the knockout stages with Argentina after being named in Lionel Scaloni's squad.

If they wanted to wait until next summer, €10 million is the price Real must pay for Paz. Had they elected against buying him back, Real would be entitled to 50 per cent of a future fee.

However, it's emerged that Paz is not the only player they may bring back. MARCA, via TMW, say that they could bring back centre-back Jacob Ramon, who signed for Como in a €2.5 million switch last summer.

As with Paz, they have the option to bring him back for a small fee for the next few summers, as well as the sell-on clause.
