Former Los Blancos boss Carlo Ancelotti opted for a daring call on Paz last summer when he sold the highly rated midfielder to Serie A Side Como for a fee of € 6 million.
However, because the club is still looking for their options on Paz, they ran a structured exit package match the side of Cesc Faregas.
