End of the summer catchphrase surrounding the young Argentine talent: the very rich ownership of the Como club pays 60 million euros to Real Madrid and keeps the player.
Plot twist, Nico Paz remains at Como. Not by extending his stay by virtue of the old agreement between the Como club and Real Madrid, but with a brand new agreement which provides for a initial expenditure on the Italian side of 60 million euros. A mountain of money that comes out of the coffers of the very rich Indonesian property Hartono and which represents the most expensive coup in the history of Como. Surprise turn, given that during the hours in Madrid the White House had announced his intention to bring back the Argentine talent, the hypothesis that this effort could be made from Lario was not contemplated.
Nico Paz therefore returns to being a player employed by Fabregas and Real Madrid retains a further right of repurchase at a higher figure (80 million euros). Everyone is happy and content except the competition who hoped to be able to enter, starting with Inter who dreamed of canceling the Palestra mockery by throwing themselves on the number 10 who is playing the World Cup with the Argentina shirt at the court of Leo Messi.
The Nerazzurri, on the other hand, remain empty-handed even if in this case it cannot be said that they were mocked. That the road was uphill had been known to Marotta and Ausilio for months, the same ones spent courting Nico Paz while also angering Fabregas. For the Argentine to land in Milan, however, a series of almost impossible factors had to occur, first and foremost Como’s exit. It didn’t happen and the player got what he wanted.
Despite rumors and some forcing, in fact, Nico Paz has never pushed for a different solution than staying in Como. He will play as a protagonist in the Champions League and will continue to see his talent shaped by the work of Fabregas. Then, when he is finally ready, he will return to Real Madrid or be put on the market for the big teams in Europe.
