Zanetti confirms Nico Paz ‘surely’ returning to Real Madrid

Inter Vice President Javier Zanetti admits he’s an admirer of Nico Paz, but the Como talent will ‘surely’ return to Real Madrid at the end of the season.

Zanetti: ‘Nico Paz surely returning to Real Madrid’

Inter Vice President Zanetti reveals his compatriot Nico Paz will surely return to Real Madrid at the end of the season.

“I admire him, and his father is a great friend of mine,” Zanetti said during an event on Tuesday, via Sport Mediaset.

“He would fit well in any top side, but signing him is complicated. Surely, he’ll return to Real Madrid.”

Como signed Nico Paz on a permanent transfer in the summer of 2024, leaving Real Madrid with an option to re-sign the Argentine until 2027.
