Inter Milan remain firmly in the running for Como starlet Nico Paz despite Real Madrid’s buyback clause.
Per Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the San Siro giants haven’t lost hope of signing the Argentine prodigy.
Away on international duty, Nico Paz is currently with La Albiceleste, preparing for the latest set of World Cup qualifiers.
Meanwhile, Inter captain Lautaro Martinez has also linked up with Lionel Scaloni’s squad for upcoming games.
Indeed, the two have reportedly become close friends, which could benefit the Nerazzurri this summer.
It’s no secret that Inter want Paz to be among the club’s marquee signings this summer.
However, Real Madrid’s buyback clause threatens to undermine their quest to land the 20-year-old.
New Los Blancos boss Xabi Alonso reportedly sees the versatile forward as a perfect fit for this squad.
Therefore, the Spaniards could soon activate the clause.
Meanwhile, Inter are lurking in the shadows, waiting for their chance to strike.
Paz has made a name for himself in Serie A and may prefer to stay in Italy, which would hand the Nerazzurri a crucial boost.
