Inter Milan are thinking about a move for and former Real Madrid midfielder Nico Paz.
Italian broadcaster SportMediaset, via FCInterNews, report that the 20-year-old Argentine international’s blazing start to the Serie A season has put him on the radar of the Nerazzurri.
Paz joined Como during the past summer transfer window.
The young midfielder joined the Lariani on a permanent basis for a fee of €6 million. However, Como agreed that Real Madrid would receive 50% of any future transfer fee for Paz.
And Paz has proven to be an excellent piece of business so far for Como.
The 20-year-old has been a key part of the newly-promoted side’s starting eleven under Cesc Fabregas.
Paz has made a total of thirteen appearances for Como in Serie A so far this season.
And the Argentine has hit the ground running.
Inter Eye Up Como & Former Real Madrid Star Nico Paz
Paz has scored one goal and made three assists from midfield for Como.
However, it is not just the 20-year-old’s goals and assists that have caught the eye.
Paz has been crucial to Como’s attacking play and possession.
The former Real midfielder’s passing range and vision have been at the heart of several fine performances from Fabregas’s men.
And there is no doubt that Paz is up to the level of Serie A physically and tactically.
Therefore, it is no surprise that big teams in the Italian top flight have taken an interest in the Argentine, whose performances have also earned him senior call-ups for the Albiceleste.
According to Mediaset, Inter are among the team who are considering whether a move for Paz would be possible.
However, the broadcaster notes, the fact that Como would owe a big sell-on fee to Real Madrid could complicate things.
That would certainly give the Spanish giants an advantage if they want to bring him back. And it means that Como would hardly be willing to sell Paz for a small fee.
