Como retain Nico Paz in dramatic €60m Real Madrid deal

Italian outfit Como have pulled off a stunning transfer coup by agreeing to a €60 million proposal from Real Madrid to retain the services of Argentine playmaker Nico Paz. The ambitious Serie A club successfully fought off rival interest to keep their talismanic midfielder by the lake, though the Spanish giants have secured a significantly higher buy-back clause in the process.

How €60m Paz could unlock Mourinho’s blockbuster move for Inter defender

Real Madrid are weighing up an audacious transfer strategy that could see former academy star Nico Paz act as the key to unlocking a deal for Inter's Alessandro Bastoni. Jose Mourinho is desperate to bolster his defensive line at the Bernabeu, and a complex series of negotiations involving the Argentine midfielder may provide the perfect solution.

Real to trigger €9m Paz clause and offer him back to Como for massive fee

Real Madrid are prepared to officially inform Como of their firm intention to activate the bargain €9m buy-back clause for midfield sensation Nico Paz. The Spanish titans then plan to immediately offer the highly rated playmaker back to the Italian outfit for a staggering premium, exploiting his skyrocketing value after a stunning season.

Como and Inter eye Chalobah move

Trevoh Chalobah looks increasingly likely to swap Stamford Bridge for Serie A this summer as the race for his signature intensifies in Italy. The defender, currently away with the England squad at the World Cup, has become a primary target for Italian giants Inter and ambitious newcomers Como, who have already submitted an initial bid for his services.

Explained: Why Madrid cannot flip Paz for instant profit

Real Madrid's hope of executing a quick-fire financial masterstroke with Nico Paz has been dashed by transfer regulations. The Spanish giants had planned to trigger a bargain buy-back clause for the Argentine playmaker before flipping him for an immediate €50 million (£43m/$57m) profit, but the move is now legally impossible this summer.

Chelsea ready to sell Chalobah as Como circle

Chelsea are prepared to listen to offers for Trevoh Chalobah this summer as the defender attracts interest from across Europe, including Italian side Como. Despite being a regular fixture in the side last season, the academy graduate is no longer considered untouchable as the club looks to reshape its backline under new leadership.
