Yahoo Sports reports that As of yesterday, Jose Mourinho has signed the paperwork naming him the next manager of Real Madrid, and all signs point to the announcement being made after Florentino Perez is re-elected as president.

The Portuguese manager, needless to say, has already begun the planning and preparation for his project in the Spanish capital, and he unsurprisingly has a say in the moves Los Blancos are pushing for this summer.

Nico Paz, on that front, is one player Mourinho is reportedly keen to work with and wants the club to bring back.

After all, the player has grown tremendously in two seasons at Como and it is widely seen as the right time for him to return home.
