Real Madrid has officially reclaimed Argentine midfielder Nico Paz from Como, paving the way for a summer auction expected to command €60 million. The Spanish club rejected Como’s request for another loan season, effectively placing the 20-year-old on the open market.
Italian media report that Inter Milan have emerged as frontrunners in the race for Paz’s signature. The Nerazzurri are prepared to “go all in” for the player, but any move hinges on approval from Oaktree, the club’s owners, who must release the necessary funds.
The Serie A leaders face stiff competition from England. Tottenham Hotspur have already been mentioned as potential suitors, with reports warning that Premier League clubs could price Inter out of the negotiations given their superior financial resources. One newspaper describes the situation as a “free sale,” noting that whoever meets the €60 million valuation can secure Paz’s services immediately.
Milan target Ramos as Juventus plan double swoop
While Paz dominates headlines, AC Milan are pursuing their own high-profile target. The Rossoneri have set their sights on Paris Saint-Germain forward Goncalo Ramos, with the Portuguese international valued at €45 million.
Juventus are also active in the market. The Turin club have identified Ivory Coast midfielder Franck Kessié as a priority, though he is currently representing his country at the World Cup. Meanwhile, the Bianconeri are discussing personal terms with striker Kolo Muani, with negotiations reportedly centred on a five-year contract worth €5 million per season.
Roma lead Greenwood chase as Conte takes charge
In the capital, Roma appear to hold a clear path for Mason Greenwood. The Giallorossi are reportedly the only Italian club currently pursuing the forward, facing no domestic competition for his signature.
Away from the transfer market, the national team has confirmed its new leadership. Antonio Conte has officially been appointed as Italy’s head coach, replacing Luciano Spalletti following the Azzurri’s failure to qualify for the World Cup.
