Real Madrid plans to activate their buy-back clause for Nico Paz this summer, delivering a significant setback to Inter Milan’s aspirations of securing the Como star, who has been one of Serie A’s top performers this season.
As reported by Corriere della Sera, the Spanish giants are poised to trigger the €9 million repurchase option before the June 30th deadline.

This is an exceptionally low fee for a player whose market value has soared to €74 million.
His impressive campaign with Como has certainly contributed to this increased valuation.
Nevertheless, Como have not completely lost hope of retaining their standout player.
Como & Real Madrid in Focus as Inter Remains on the Sidelines in the Nico Paz Chase
They may still try to entice him with the prospect of playing European football next season.
However, their negotiating power is somewhat restricted due to the terms of the buy-back clause.
A recent image of Paz dining with Inter legends Javier Zanetti and Diego Milito has fueled speculation regarding a potential move to Inter.
However, Corriere makes it clear that any such inference may be premature.

The Argentine player himself is not in a hurry to make a decision about his future.
He prefers to wait and see who will be Real Madrid’s next manager before determining his own path forward.
Additionally, he is interested in understanding what role he would be assigned at the Bernabeu.
Until these details are clarified, the situation remains fluid.
Responsibility now lies with Paz, Real Madrid, and Como.
