Key Takeaways
- Inter Milan are ready to pay €40m to €50m to sign Nico Paz from Como.
- Real Madrid will use their €11m buy-back clause, but the player’s future depends on their new manager.
- José Mourinho could become the next Real Madrid coach and decide if Paz stays or leaves.
Inter Milan have not given up hope of signing Argentine midfielder Nico Paz. The Serie A giants want to bring the talented star to San Siro even though Real Madrid plan to recall him this summer.
The Spanish club hold an €11 million buy-back clause. They intend to use this option to end the player’s spell at Como. However, Paz might not remain at the Bernabéu for the next season.
The decision will rest with Real Madrid’s new head coach. José Mourinho is a possible candidate for the position. If the former Chelsea and Manchester United boss returns to Madrid, he will choose whether to keep the young Argentine in his squad. This situation gives Inter an opportunity to complete a deal.
The Nerazzurri are preparing a transfer package worth between €40 million and €50 million. They hope to propose a loan move with an obligation to buy. Another option is a permanent transfer that includes a buy-back clause for Real Madrid.
Inter also have a personal connection that could help the deal. Nico Paz’s father, Pablo Paz, is a close friend of Inter vice-president Javier Zanetti. The two former footballers played together for the Argentina national team. This relationship may help convince the midfielder to choose Italy over Spain.
