Report – Real Madrid Hold Control Over Inter Milan Target’s Future Until August 2027 | OneFootball

Real Madrid have control over the future of Inter Milan-linked Como midfielder Nico Paz until August of 2027.

This according to Spanish outlet Marca, via FCInterNews.

The Lariani officially announce, via FCInterNews, that the Argentine will not be rejoining Los Blancos this summer.

Inter Milan have been following midfielder Nico Paz closely for months now.

The 20-year-old was one of the outstanding players in Serie A last season. He well and truly hit the ground running in his first season at Como after arriving from Real Madrid.

Therefore, Inter have long viewed Paz as a dream signing.

One complicating factor in Inter’s prospective pursuit of Nico Paz has been the fact that Real Madrid have a buyback option on the 20-year-old.

When the Spanish giants sold Paz to Como last summer, they included such an option.

Therefore, Inter or any other interested club could not simply negotiate with Como. They would have to wait and see what Real Madrid would do.

However, Los Blancos did not buy Nico Paz back from Como this summer.

However, Real Madrid continue to see Paz as a potential future first team player.

Xabi Alonso, coach of the Spanish giants, will assess the Argentine. However, for now he and the club hierarchy feel that the best place for Paz is back at Como for another season.

Nevertheless, Real’s buyback option runs until the end of August of 2027.
