Real Madrid and Como set for crunch talks over Nico Paz amid €60 million sale speculation

Real Madrid and Como set for crunch talks over Nico Paz amid €60 million sale speculation Not too long ago, it was almost destined that Nico Paz would return to Real Madrid next season and set the La Liga on fire. But things have changed significantly in the last few weeks, with Real Madrid now ready to sell him for €60 million after the player informed he is unsure about a return to the Bernabeu. The entire ordeal has left Como in a limbo as they ideally want to keep hold of the Argentine international but cannot afford to spend as much as €60 million on the player. Crunch meeting this week According to reports in Italy, as relayed by Mundo Deportivo , representatives from Como will travel to Madrid this Thursday to sit down with Real Madrid officials and try to find a resolution over Paz’s future.

Como keen on Nico Paz stay The Italian club’s main objective is to convince Real Madrid either to let Paz stay for another year on loan, or to renegotiate the agreement around his rights so that he can remain at Como for several more seasons. Their biggest fear is that Real Madrid will recall the player only to sell him to a rival. That is where Inter Milan enter the picture. The Serie A giants have long admired Paz and are ready to make a move should he become available, an outcome Como are desperate to avoid.

However, the player himself told the club that he does not want to return this summer. Having enjoyed an excellent season at Como, which culminated in Champions League qualification, Paz is keen to remain in Italy and test himself in Europe’s premier club competition with the club where he has flourished.
