A recent visit by Cesc Fabregas to Madrid didn’t completely clarify the future of Nico Paz. Roma and Napoli have also started tracking him, in addition to Inter, which have been after him for months, La Repubblica informs.
Los Blancos are willing to forgo exercising their first buy-back clause and let him stay near the lake for another campaign. The Biancoblù are ready to tender €18M to remove all the options of the counterparty. Their offer is unlikely to be accepted.
Inter, Roma, and Napoli are hoping Nico Paz doesn’t stay stuck in a limbo between two clubs so they can table their bids too. The Giallorossi are looking for another highly-rated attacker to have a fallback in case Paulo Dybala’s recovery takes longer than anticipated. Moreover, La Joya will have to be handled even more carefully than usual once he’s back.
Instead, the Partenopei weren’t able to replace Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in January. They wish to add creativity to their squad, no matter the role. If the situation was normal, the price tag of the starlet would be €20/25M.
According to Corriere dello Sport, Como and Real Madrid might have to convince the talent to stick with their plan. He feels ready to jump to a bigger team right away. He is tempted in particular by Inter’s offer.
It’s a big mess, and he will have a say in the outcome. There’s a chance another side that plays in the cups, probably not the Nerazzurri, accepts to have him just for a couple of seasons while allowing Real Madrid to still be in control of his future.
