Inter Milan’s vice-president, Javier Zanetti, attended the Serie A game between Como and Venezia on Saturday to closely monitor Nico Paz, a player reportedly on Inter’s radar.
Nico Paz is highly regarded at Inter, and the club is expected to make a move for him during the summer transfer window.
The 20-year-old joined Como from Real Madrid in the summer of 2024 for approximately €6 million. Real Madrid retains a 50% sell-on clause and buy-back options for the next few years.
Real Madrid can re-sign Paz for €8 million this summer, €9 million in the summer of 2026, and €10 million in the summer of 2027.
After a successful breakthrough season in Serie A, Como is eager to keep Paz. This would require renegotiations with Real Madrid, who still have significant control over Paz’s future.
Inter is reportedly interested in negotiating with Real Madrid directly for Paz, fearing that Como might demand a higher transfer fee due to being a league rival.
