It’s no secret that Nico Paz is one of Inter’s main targets for the upcoming transfer market. Como’s attacking midfielder is among Serie A’s brightest talents, and the Nerazzurri have been working for some time already to get ahead of competition.
Certainly the most active figure in this regard has been Javier Zanetti. The Inter vice-president has continuously courted the player, and was recently spotted at the Sinigallia stadium in Como, watching Nico Paz closely during the latest Serie A match. Zanetti’s relationship with Nico’s father, Pablo Paz—his former teammate from their national team days—could prove crucial in negotiations.
Zanetti’s efforts did not stop at just being present in the stands. Indeed, to further express his interest, the Inter legend recently invited the Paz family to dinner at his restaurant in Milan. A significant gesture that could indeed aid the Nerazzurri’s pursuit of the player. However, according to calciomercato.com, Como would need an offer between 25 and 30 million euros to let him go.
Real Madrid on Nico Paz: there’s a decisive factor
In the background, however, is the ever-present interest of Real Madrid. The Spanish giants hold a buy-back option and a 50% sell-on clause, something that could influence the player’s future significantly. According to calciomercato.com, however, there is one factor that could tip the balance in Inter’s favour.
This factor is Nico Paz’s own desire. If the player firmly expressed his preference not to return to the Spanish side, this could greatly simplify a transfer to Inter. The road ahead remains long, but the Nerazzurri are already making moves to ensure they reach the finish line in good time.
