Real Madrid are preparing for an important summer after finishing another season without major silverware, and while the club continues to explore high-profile signings, an intriguing alternative already exists much closer to home.
The Spanish giants are expected to make several additions across the squad; however, alongside expensive transfer targets, they also have the opportunity to bring back three former academy products for a combined fee of just €23 million, reports MARCA.
The players in question are Victor Munoz, Nico Paz and Jacobo Ramon.
Thanks to buyback clauses inserted into their respective agreements, Real Madrid retain the ability to re-sign the trio for relatively modest fees.

Simply put, Nico Paz can return for €9 million, Jacobo Ramon for €6 million and Victor Munoz for €8 million from Osasuna.
Collectively, the operation would cost less than many single transfers in today’s market, while potentially strengthening several positions at once.
Among the three, Nico Paz appears to be the player closest to returning. The attacking midfielder remains highly regarded within Valdebebas, and there is growing confidence that he will wear the Real Madrid shirt again.
The only uncertainty concerns the timing, with a return this summer not yet guaranteed.

Notably, Nico Paz and Ramon have enjoyed impressive campaigns with Como, helping the Italian side secure qualification for the Champions League and attracting attention across Europe.
Victor Munoz, on the other hand, has also enhanced his reputation after becoming one of the breakthrough stories of the La Liga season.
His performances have shown maturity and consistency, qualities that could make him a useful option in a squad expected to undergo several changes.
At this stage, Real Madrid have not made a final decision regarding Munoz or Ramon, but their progress remains under close observation.
