Zanetti Says Nico Paz Will Return to Real Madrid

A re-sign option held by Real Madrid has left Inter with little room to negotiate.

Overview

  • Inter vice-president Javier Zanetti said Nico Paz will surely return to Real Madrid and called a potential Inter move complicated.
  • Como signed Paz in 2024, but Madrid kept an option to re-sign him that remains active until 2027.
  • Italian outlets have reported that Madrid plan to use that option, which has curtailed Inter’s pursuit even as the club maintains interest.
  • The 21-year-old attacking midfielder has delivered a breakout season under Cesc Fàbregas at Como, raising his market value and profile.
  • Paz’s role after a Madrid return is not set, with his place expected to depend on the incoming head coach’s squad plans.
