Preface Summary: Why was Nico Pas, the former Real Madrid midfielder’s hope star, abandoned by his "old club"? Two core reasons have surfaced: one is that there are already new players of the same type in the team, and the other is that their tough appearance requirements are difficult to meet. A game about genius has just begun.

Real Madrid gave up the repurchase of Nico Pas, two key reasons were exposed! According to Spanish media Daily Sports, Real Madrid has decided not to buy back Nico Pas, who was once regarded as a midfield star. This decision coincided with the club's official announcement of the signing of Argentine genius Franko Mastantuono. However, although Mastantuono's arrival played an important role in this decision, it was not the only reason why Real Madrid gave up Pass.

Nico Pas left Real Madrid last summer and transferred to Italian team Cuomo for 6 million euros. The transaction at that time included a €8 million buyback clause, and Real Madrid retained 50% of its future transfer interest. After arriving in Serie A, Pas performed very well, contributing 6 goals and 9 assists this season, and has become a key figure in the team and has aroused the interest of many European clubs. In the Argentina national team, he is even known as one of Messi's successors.

Despite this, Real Madrid still chose not to activate the repurchase clause, but instead hoped to Mastantuono, who is also a midfielder and is an Argentine native. The latter is regarded as a more promising future star and has officially joined Real Madrid, but due to various event arrangements, it will take until the club's World Cup is over before it will be officially unveiled.

According to Real Madrid Universal, another key factor affecting Pas' return is his personal requirement - he hopes to get a stable playing time once he returns. However, this condition is obviously difficult to meet in the Real Madrid lineup full of talents and fierce competition. The club management was unable to provide a "clear playing time guarantee", which also became an important reason for the breakdown of the negotiations.

In fact, the outside world once speculated that Real Madrid intends to sign Pas before the Club World Cup, but it did not implement it in the end. For Mastantuono, although he has not yet been able to play in the game, he has obviously entered the club's long-term plan. At present, there are still many variables in Pas' future. Cuomo coach and former Spanish star Fabregas has said that he is very eager to continue to keep the Argentine young player, and several clubs are paying close attention to his movements. It is certain that at least in the short term, Pas will not return to the Bernabeu, but will continue to shine in Serie A.
