Inter Milan vow ‘anything’ to secure Nico Paz

Inter Milan have declared they are ready to do ‘anything’ to sign former Real Madrid academy graduate Nico Paz this summer, despite a €10 million buy‑back clause and a potential €50 million resale target. The Argentine midfielder’s future has become a saga, with a contractual 12‑week restriction that could push any move to January. Nico Paz, a product of Real Madrid’s youth system, enjoyed notable success while on loan at Como, attracting attention from his former club. Real Madrid are reported to have an agreement in place to bring him back, activating a €10 million clause that could later yield a fee above €50 million. The appointment of Jose Mourinho at Real Madrid and his demand for new midfield options altered the situation, as Paz refused a bench role and pushed to extend his stay at Como. This stance forced Real Madrid to reconsider their strategy regarding the player’s contract.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, defending Serie A champions Inter Milan have emerged as the leading candidates should Real Madrid trigger the buy‑back. The Italian side view Paz as a high‑quality addition capable of bolstering their title‑defence ambitions. Inter Milan are waiting for Real Madrid to officially activate the clause before they can enter negotiations. Once triggered, the club says it will pursue the player aggressively, willing to meet any cost required. A problematic clause in Paz’s terms stipulates a 12‑week gap between his return to Real Madrid and any subsequent departure. Given the limited summer window, this makes an immediate transfer to Inter impossible, potentially delaying the second step until the January window. The existence of this clause will ultimately determine whether the transfer proceeds as planned or stalls for the remainder of the season.
