Inter Milan remain firmly in the race for Como starlet Nico Paz despite persistent interest from Real Madrid.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, Los Blancos’ buyback clause hasn’t deterred the Nerazzurri.

Indeed, Simone Inzaghi is keen to add the 20-year-old forward to his squad in the summer transfer window.

Meanwhile, the Argentine can’t stop impressing in Serie A.

He returned to the scoresheet after a two-game scoring duck to help Como beat Fiorentina 2-0 last weekend.

Therefore, he has now tallied three goals in six league appearances in 2025.

Inter Milan Remain in Race for Como Star Nico Paz Amid Real Madrid Interest

Nico Paz joined Como from Real Madrid last summer for a meager €6 million.

However, Los Merengues have the option to re-sign him at the end of 2024/25 for only €9m.

Furthermore, they’re seriously considering exercising the buyback clause.

That would land a hammer blow on Inter’s hopes of landing the prodigious youngster.

But if the situation changes, Real Madrid would still profit from Paz’s transfer.

Indeed, they boast 50% on a possible future resale, with Como likely to demand around €20m from interested clubs.
