Nico Paz-Inter, Romano: “First calls, but Como still has a wildcard”

After the failed deal for Marco Palestra, the attention of the Nerazzurri fans and beyond has shifted completely to the future of Nico Paz. Yesterday, in Spain, a meeting took place between the sporting director of Como and the executives of Real Madrid. The Blancos informed Cesc Fabregas‘s club of their intention to exercise the buy-back clause for 9 million euros and then put the player back on the market. Price? 60 million. According to journalist and transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano, Inter has made some exploratory inquiries, but at the moment there is no concrete negotiation, also because Como is still fully in the running.

“What I want to say tonight, and I want to repeat to you, as I have done in all the videos, is to absolutely still keep, with the utmost respect and consideration, Como in mind. Because Como showed up in Madrid yesterday, Thursday, and Real Madrid told Como ‘we are buying the player back, 9 million, we’ll put him back on the market, if you want to take him, we value him at 60 million euros’. From today, Friday, until Monday, so take the weekend, in these days, whenever you want, give us an answer.”

Como still has the joker up its sleeve. And Como in this story should not be underestimated. Because it is true on one hand that Como, on Thursday, yesterday, in Madrid, did not go to the meeting and close for Nico Paz. Como did not say, okay, you want 60, let’s close. This did not happen. And from here the first calls from Inter started to understand the situation. But a negotiation, guys, I say this to those asking me in these hours, has the Inter-Real Madrid negotiation started, Inter-Nico Paz, Nico Paz’s contract, Inter’s offer to Real Madrid, how much are they offering, 60, 70, 50, bonuses, options. All of this today, today, as I record this video, does not exist. So it is right to clarify that all of this does not exist today.

Inter is not negotiating for Nico Paz. Inter has inquired about the situation after Thursday’s meeting, but we still absolutely need to consider and respect Como. Because Como is still part of the story for Nico Paz. So, while it was a cold Thursday for Como, in the sense that in this meeting Real Madrid communicated that they would buy back the player and want a valuation of 60 million, from today the game with Nico Paz starts again. And from now until Monday we need to stay tuned. Because Como is still involved in the Nico Paz story. And remember this video in the middle of the night, because Como is still making its thoughts and calculations about Nico Paz. So before saying goodbye to Como, Inter’s offer, to Nico Paz, Real Madrid or anyone else, calm down. We need to respect and wait for Como. Inter can possibly come into play only if and only if the Como situation is definitively set aside. But before calling Como out of the game, we have to wait for them.”
