Inter’s home meeting with Como Monday will be the perfect opportunity for the Nerazzurri to see Nico Paz again, as they are reportedly planning a strategy to bring him to the San Siro in the future.
The attacking midfielder has impressed in Serie A since joining Cesc Fabregas’ side last summer and Biccione are keeping tabs on the 20-year-old along with their vice-president. Javier Zanetti has been personally scouting the player recently.
However, Inter know Real Madrid can still activate a €12 million buy-back clause to bring the youngster back to the Santiago Bernabeu, but want to be prepared if the Spanish giants decide not to.
Inter could offer young striker Como in Nico Paz deal
As reported by Gazzetta dello Sport, Paz’s profile perfectly fits the vision of new owners Oaktree, who are willing to invest in young and talented players.
The Nerazzurri feel they can gain an edge in the race to sign the Argentina international by including Francesco Pio Esposito in the deal, who is currently on loan at Serie B side La Spezia, where he has scored nine goals in 16 games.
Furthermore, Inter believe that Paz’s connection with their captain Lautaro Martinez, also a teammate of the national team, could make a difference in convincing the former Real Madrid star to join Simone Inzaghi’s side.
The Argentine scored his second Serie A goal of the season in his side’s 2-0 win over Roma last week and has four assists to his name in 15 appearances.
