Real Madrid are reportedly preparing to re-sign a former defender for a fee under €9 million, employing a buy-back strategy similar to the one used to bring back midfielder Nico Paz. The Spanish giants are looking to replicate the successful model that allowed them to regain control of Paz's rights, applying it to a defensive target who previously came through the club's academy.
The move would continue Real Madrid's policy of retaining options on promising players sold with buy-back clauses, ensuring they can reinforce the squad at a predetermined price. The identity of the defender has not been disclosed, but the operation is expected to be completed in the upcoming transfer window.
