The response from Cesc Fabregas to Javier Zanetti regarding the future of Nico Paz has arrived from afar. After the words of the Inter vice president, who in recent days had openly praised the Argentine talent of Como, inevitably fueling transfer rumors, the firm reply from the biancoblù coach came on the eve of the match against Cremonese.

A match that means a whole season for Como. At stake is European qualification, with the possibility of ending the championship by securing a place in the Champions League or in the Europa League. But in the press conference, the main topic was above all the future of the Argentine jewel, increasingly at the center of attention from top clubs. In recent days, Inter vice president Javier Zanetti had said about Paz:

I like him a lot, I’m lucky to know his father. He’s on the path to becoming a great player. Great players are certainly sought after by big clubs.”

Statements that did not go unnoticed and received a clear response from Cesc Fabregas:

“I’m sorry. Zanetti has been a very important person in football, he knows the dynamics well, I know Ausilio and Baccin well. I know they are the ones who make the decisions. In the end, Nico is a Como player at 50%. The only club that can say something is Real Madrid. I know that Zanetti does not work for Madrid or Como, so respect must be shown. There are also small messages that I don’t like. If I may say, there’s one thing I know for sure: Nico Paz will not play for Inter. He will either return to Real Madrid or play for Como next year.”
