Serie A minnows Como have reportedly opened talks with Real Madrid over a permanent deal for Inter Milan target Nico Paz.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio via FCInterNews, Cesc Fabregas’ charges are eager to sign the Argentine starlet.
Nico Paz has gone from strength to strength since swapping La Liga for Serie A last summer.
However, Real Madrid can still re-sign him this summer, courtesy of an affordable €9 million release clause.
Meanwhile, Como are keen to secure Paz’s permanent stay.

Therefore, talks with Real Madrid are underway as they aim to knock Inter out of the race.
Despite Como’s latest attempts, the reigning Serie A champions won’t give up without a fight.
Indeed, Javier Zanetti could extend the Nerazzurri a helping hand, relying on his friendship with the player’s father.
Paz’s will could make all the difference.
In the meantime, Simone Inzaghi is awaiting the outcome with bated breath.
