According to Corriere dello Sport, Inter have practically no hope of signing Nico Paz as José Mourinho wants to keep the Argentine talent at Real Madrid.
Mourinho will soon be officially confirmed as Real Madrid’s new coach, and according to Corriere dello Sport, the Portuguese tactician is eager to keep Argentine talent Nico Paz at the Bernabéu for 2026-27.
Corriere dello Sport wrote on its front page on Saturday: “Mourinho keeps Nico Paz.”
Nico Paz is about to finish his second season at Como and has just been crowned the best midfielder in the league for the 2025-26 campaign.
Real Madrid have an option to re-sign him until 2027, and the Merengues are eager to activate their clause this summer.
Inter have long been linked with signing the Argentine international, but Como coach Fabregas has said the Nerazzurri won’t sign Nico Paz as the 21-year-old will either return to Madrid or stay in Como.
Fabregas was frustrated by Javier Zanetti’s recent comments, as the Inter vice president stated that Paz would return to Real Madrid in 2026-27.
