Inter Ready to Splurge to Sign Como and Real Madrid Ace | OneFootball

Nico Paz had another eventful display versus Lecce, missing a PK but also scoring a gem later on, and the links to a future Inter transfer continue to intensify. The Nerazzurri are prepared to shell out €20/25M to acquire him next summer, DiarioSport relays (via OneFootball).

The Scudetto winners will surely change their frontline at the end of the season as the contracts of Marko Arnautovic and Joaquin Correa will come off the books. The Argentine prodigy, who’s naturally a no.10, could also be turned into an aggressive box-to-box midfielder over time.

Inter will most likely have to negotiate with Real Madrid to purchase Nico Paz, as they are expected to activate their buy-back clause. Instead, if he somehow stayed at Como, they’d have a few youngsters to offer to the Lariani.

Even should he go back to the Santiago Bernabeu, the Argentine could leave again to find more regular minutes. Carlo Ancelotti talked him up during his interview to Radio Anch’Io Lo Sport.

Our Take on Inter and Nico Paz

Ancelotti rates him, but it remains to be seen whether he’ll still be at the helm. Still, Los Blancos rarely lose control of their youth products completely, especially those who have a real shot at making their squad. It might not be that palatable for the Nerazzurri to have him for a season or two with the looming threat of a buy-back clause, although it’d be somewhat profitable.
