Nico Paz leaving Como?

Serie A team Como have initiated discussions with Real Madrid to negotiate the removal of all transfer clauses concerning the 20-year-old midfielder Nico Paz. Como, supported by the wealthiest owners in Italy, aim to reach an agreement with Madrid to eliminate all clauses related to Paz. Reports indicate that they are willing to offer up to €20m (£16.9m) to take full control of Paz's future away from Madrid. Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has previously expressed his interest in Paz, referring to him as the "future of Real Madrid" and characterizing his transfer to Como as a "year of training outside of the club." Cesc Fabregas, the manager of Como, has acknowledged Madrid's buy-back clause but implied that the Italian club has the upper hand, noting that there is a specific buy-back clause for Nico Paz in favor of Real Madrid, but he remains a Como player. Fabregas indicated that if Como have no intention of selling Nico, then it won't happen, and emphasized that they have an agreement with Nico, making it impossible for the club to consider selling him.

Nico Paz has drawn interest from several major European clubs, with Inter de Milán being notably keen on signing him. At 20 years old, the Argentine midfielder has emerged as a promising talent in Serie A, showcasing impressive performances in his early matches with Como. His record includes two goals and four assists over 15 games. Inter's interest is clear, as Javier Zanetti, the club's vice president, was present at Paz's recent match against Roma. Additionally, it was reported that coach Simone Inzaghi had expressed admiration for Paz's footballing skills and character. Real Madrid's buy-back option could complicate the transfer process. Inter may enter negotiations with Como, although Como is reportedly reluctant to part with their star player. Moreover, Nico's connection with Lautaro Martínez, his teammate in the Argentine national team, might influence the situation.

Nico Paz, a talented player at Como with Real Madrid holding a double clause on him, is on the radar of both Juventus and Inter Milan as a potential future transfer target.

Many Premier League clubs are also interested in Nico Paz, admiring his qualities in one-on-one situations and long-distance shots. Real Madrid currently controls his future and is happy to see him grow at Como, considering his return to Santiago Bernabeu a matter of time.

Report focuses on the prospect of Como selling Nico Paz to another Italian side, with Real Madrid receiving half the transfer fee.
