Nico Paz is the footballer who dazzles in the Real Madrid quarry. Due to his talent, the merengue team was forced to shield him and renewed his contract until 2027.
The Argentine is 18 years old and wore the shirt of our National Team when he participated in the Cotif L'Alcudia 2022 tournament and in the last South American Under 20. Although Javier Mascherano also summoned him to play the World Cup that is taking place in Argentina, Nico Paz was not loaned by his club.
In this context, the Argentine shared a practice with the Real Madrid players and who did not keep any praise was Toni Kroos. The historic merengue midfielder would have suggested that they add him to the training of the first team. As the newspaper Marca learned, Kroos said: "This boy should train with us every day because he is great."

"He has the projection to play in the first team. He is doing very well with Arbeloa and the times he was used by Raul he has also done very well in Castilla," he said.
