Not only Real Madrid: Como star Nicolas Paz draws interest from a top Serie A club
Nico Paz left Real Madrid to carve out a starring role at Como in Serie A, but the Spanish powerhouse retains significant sway over his career. Committed to a developmental strategy, Real Madrid prefers selling young talents to European clubs, aiming for growth over immediate senior roster inclusion. However, they’ve included a $11.6 million buyback clause in Paz’s move. Securing his arrival may not be ease as they reportedly face stiff competition from a top Serie A club.

Inter Milan are reportedly preparing a $67.3 million offer to acquire Nico Paz from Como, as per Italian media sources. This move could position the Argentine as a potential key asset for Cristian Chivu’s squad, which consistently competes for top honors. Such a transfer would mark a significant leap in Paz’s career, while also presenting Real Madrid with direct competition for the young talent.
