Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Nico Paz will join Real Madrid from Como next summer and David Alaba will leave as a free agent at the end of the season.
The well-known and well-respected Italian journalist has also claimed that Antonio Rudiger could stay at Madrid, despite, like Alaba, the defender’s contract with Los Blancos also coming to an end next summer.
Romano said on his YouTube channel: “I expect Nico Paz to go to Real Madrid in 2026, not in January, but in the summer.
“For Real Madrid, two important things to mention. The first one, I can confirm what I have been telling you for months.
“David Alaba is expected to leave Real Madrid as a free agent in the summer.
“As of today, zero, zero negotiations, to extend the contract, zero negotiations in terms of financials and technical project.
“So, what I understand is that there are very serious chances, I would say, that, as of today, it’s like 98%, chances to see David Alaba leaving the summer transfer window and trying a new chapter in his football career.
“So, I expect David Alaba to go.
“What I can tell about Rudiger, guys, is that from Saudi, they remain very, very interested and attentive to the situation of Antonio Rudiger.
“They are following the situation.
“Real Madrid have not decided yet. Antonio Rudiger has not decided yet. Full focus on this season.
“We know Real Madrid are used to working on contracts for over 30 players, only at the end of the season or close to the end of the season, so that remains the case for Antonio Rudiger, but it’s going to be on the player and on Real Madrid.
“They will make a decision not now, not these weeks.
“It’s going to take some time, some months before they decide what to do.
“From Saudi, at the moment, it is not a negotiation.
“There is not an official bid or something like that.
“There was a bid in the past from Saudi. It was rejected because Real Madrid wanted to trust Rudiger and keep Rudiger, and Rudiger wanted to stay at Real Madrid.
“Now we have to see in 2026 if Real Madrid decide to proceed and let Antonio Rudifer go, or if Real Madrid want to keep Rudiger and sign a new contract and also what Rudiger wants to do.
“So, let’s follow the Rudiger situation. We will be following that from Saudi. The clubs will be very attentive, and then David Alaba leaving Real Madrid in the summer transfer window is almost guaranteed.”
