In the Monday evening postponement of the 17th matchday of Serie A there will be a very special observation at San Siro. In Milan to face l’Inter in fact the As among whose ranks, under the orders of Cesc Fabregas, is the Argentine playmaker Nico Paz who has already been in the crosshairs of the Nerazzurri club for some time. The Inter managers are moving in time on the school gem Real Madrid and Simone Inzaghi also confirmed that the profile is liked during the pre-match press conference. But how does the agreement between the Como club and the Merengues work? And who will the Nerazzurri eventually have to deal with?
EXHIBITION SEASON – So far it literally has stolen the eye in the Como house which made a very important investment for him in the summer. The born in 2004 with a double Spanish and Argentine passport he perhaps arrived undetected on the lake shore, but soon took permanent possession of a starting shirt for Fabregas' 11 who, to put him in the best conditions to explode, has in fact changed form, excluding the much talked about purchase, Andrea Belotti, from his tactical chessboard. Nico Paz is the most dangerous player in terms of shots and chances attempted of the entire red and white and so far, in 15 games played as an attacking midfielder decentralized on the right, he has 2 goals and 4 assists.
INZAGHI DOES NOT DENY – Inter are following him, they also played the Javier Zanetti card to try to understand if there is room for him to wear the Nerazzurri shirt in the future and today, in view of the championship clash, Simone Inzaghi also testified that he had had discussions (or reports?) about him: “Nico Paz? He is a quality player with a good physique who will have a great career. I don't know him personally, but they spoke very well about him on a human level, then we can see the quality every game he plays.”
THE FORMULA WITH REAL MADRID – To bring him to Italy and snatch him from Real Madrid, the club where he grew up and with whom he went through the entire youth selection process, becoming a key player in Castiglia, the B team, Como invested 6 million euros in the summer. The transfer was therefore set up with the formula of a permanent transfer and with Nico Paz who signed a contract expiring on 30 June 2028. The Merengues instead secured the 50% on future resale of the player, but also an increasing clause for the possible repurchase of his card.
HOW THE BUY BACK CLAUSE WORKS – In fact, if Real Madrid wanted, they could choose to buy back Nico Paz's contract by paying Como 9 million euros in the summer of 2025. The figure will then rise to 10 million in the summer of 2026 and 11 million in the summer of 2027. Basically, the control over the player's card remains in the hands of the Merengues club with whom Inter will necessarily have to sit down and negotiate if they want to buy him. It should be underlined that owner Florentino Perez's club has chosen not to focus on his talent for the first team, preferring to sell him because the battery of offensive weapons at Ancelotti's disposal is and will be hyper-crowded for a long time to come. The player will also be able to do his part and the early move could give the Nerazzurri an advantage for the future.
