Inter Milan aim to land Nico Paz, though it all depends on Real Madrid | OneFootball

Nico Paz is one of the most sought-after players on the European market. At just 21 years old, he is an untouchable piece of Como in Italy, which is fighting to reach the direct qualification spots for the Champions League. In that context, Inter Milan has fully entered the race for the Argentine, although the outlook is not very encouraging. Real Madrid has priority to sign him (through a buy-back clause put in place when he left) and appears determined to use it.

Los Blancos have until May 30 to activate the purchase option. It would be worth nine million euros, far less than the 65 million euros at which the player is valued on Transfermarkt. According to AS, the Spanish club believes Paz’s future should be at the club, which is why the directors are taking the necessary steps so that all parties involved are aware of the decision. However, the Nerazzurri still hope to add him to the squad and have also made moves, although everything will depend on Los Blancos’ final decision.

Nico Paz’s numbers help explain why several major clubs are fighting over him. In 38 matches during the 2026 season, he has recorded 13 goals and eight assists. In other words, 21 direct goal contributions, making him vital to Cesc Fàbregas’s team’s ambitions.

A few days ago, the Argentine was asked about his future and chose to say that he is focused only on the present. «I don’t want to think about those things, I am 100% focused on Como. I want to give everything on the pitch, then, if the opportunity arises in the future, we’ll see,» he said in an interview with Sport Mediaset.

In that same interview, he spoke about his debut for the Argentina national team and made it clear that he dreams of playing in the next World Cup: «It was a dream, I didn’t realize it until after the match. I’ve dreamed of the World Cup since I was little, since I watched the matches on television.» He also added: «For me it would be incredible, I work every day to get there.»
