Real Madrid are set to exercise their buy-back clause for Nico Paz this summer, dealing a significant blow to Inter Milan’s hopes of landing the Como sensation who has been one of Serie A’s standout performers this season.
According to Corriere della Sera, via FCInterNews, the Spanish giants intend to trigger the €9 million repurchase option before the June 30th deadline.
Indeed, a remarkably low fee for a player whose market value has rocketed to €74 million.
Especially following a highly impressive campaign by the Lake.
However, Como have not entirely abandoned hope of keeping their star.
Como & Real Madrid The Focus As Inter Bystanders In Nico Paz Pursuit
They could yet attempt to persuade him with the promise of European football next season.
Although, their leverage is limited given the clause’s terms.
A recent photograph of Paz dining with Inter icons Javier Zanetti and Diego Milito sparked speculation about a potential Nerazzurri move.
However, the Corriere are clear, any such reading would be premature.
The Argentine himself is in no rush to decide his future.
He wants to know who will be Real Madrid’s next manager before committing to any path forward.
And, indeed, what role he would be offered at the Bernabeu.
Until those answers emerge, the situation remains open.
However, Inter, for now, appear to be bystanders in the decision.
The ball is firmly in the court with Paz, Real Madrid and Como.
Cant see why Inter will miss out if Real triggers the buyback clause. Of course they will do it no matter what because his value is so much higher than the buyback clause. Como cant do anything.
The real question is; do Real intend to keep him or sell him at a huge profit. And thus Can Inter even compete of Real decides to sell? – I think not.
Ausilio’s Inter deserves Diouf, not Paz.
right on spot! That’s the level we’re at with this ownership and too management
