Nico Paz, Inter tried: the Zanetti and Fabregas market background

Nico Paz was a genuine target for Inter. The market background reported in recent hours reveals Javier Zanetti’s attempt, as the Nerazzurri vice-president, to convince the Argentine talent to move to Milan. The approach did not lead to the player joining Inter, however: Paz chose to remain with Como.

Cesc Fabregas played an important part in the Argentine’s decision. The Spanish coach was able to offer Paz a technical project in which the youngster could continue to be a protagonist and take on greater responsibility. That factor influenced the final choice, despite Inter’s interest and the effort made by Zanetti. Paz’s name had therefore also been assessed by the Nerazzurri management.

Inter and Como met at San Siro on November 8, with Inter winning 2-0. Chivu’s side will next play away to Atalanta on Sunday, November 22, at 20:45, in Serie A matchday 12. Paz remains a talent being monitored closely, but he is still a Como player.
