Real Madrid faces several challenges in the transfer market. One of the topics that has caused the most concern in recent weeks has been the future of Nico Paz, one of the great promises of Argentine soccer.
President of the white club Florentino Pérez met with Carlo Ancelotti after the victory against Sevilla to confirm that he won't sign a midfielder. This decision is related to the future of the young talent who is being watched by several clubs, including Inter Milan.
Nico Paz's Talent
Nico Paz is one of the most promising gems that Argentine soccer has produced in recent years. The Spanish-Argentine midfielder, just 20 years old, has proven to be a key player at Cesc Fàbregas's Como in Serie A.
With two goals and four assists in 15 matches, his performance has been exceptional in his first season as a professional. The player has attracted the attention of European giants, such as Inter Milan.
Sporting director of the Italian club Javier Zanetti attended a Roma match to closely follow Nico Paz. Even Inter's coach, Simone Inzaghi, highlighted his quality and potential, suggesting that the young man could have a brilliant career.
The Relationship with Real Madrid
Nico Paz left Real Madrid last summer transfer window, after a five-million-euro transfer to Como. Real Madrid still controls the player by retaining 50% of his rights and a buy-back option until 2027. This juicy clause allows Real Madrid to have an advantage if the player continues standing out, but it also creates uncertainty about his future.
Inter Milan's interest in Nico Paz is just the beginning. With the option to reclaim the player or sell him in the future, the club must be alert to any movement related to him. After a conversation with Ancelotti, Florentino Pérez has decided not to sign another midfielder. He believes that Nico Paz's potential will be enough to cover any medium-term needs.
Leo Messi's Influence
The impact of Nico Paz transcends the playing field. The Argentine star Lionel Messi publicly expressed his admiration for the young talent, highlighting his maturity and soccer qualities.
Messi described him as a "fantastic kid" who has everything necessary to keep growing. The captain of the Argentine national team's opinion adds even more prestige to a player who seems destined to leave a mark on world soccer.
