Inter Milan President Coy On Nico Paz Links, Praises Oaktree For ‘Determination’ To Build New San Siro | OneFootball

Beppe Marotta is not giving too much away regarding links between Nico Paz and Inter Milan

The Nerazzurri President spoke to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews, ahead of today’s Champions League clash with Feyenoord. He also praised Oaktree Capital for their “determination” to build a new San Siro.

The summer is still a few months away. But already the transfer rumours are starting to swirl around.

And for Inter Milan, perhaps none has been as strong as those to Como midfielder Nico Paz.

The Argentine, who joined Como from Real Madrid last summer, has certainly been one of the outstanding young players in Serie A this season.

And this has led Inter to see Paz as a major target. Buy all accounts, the Nerazzurri are dreaming of signing the 20-year-old. They see him as perfect for Simone Inzaghi’s team.

However, there will be plenty of obstacles in the way of a move for Paz.

For one thing, Como will hardly want to sell him. And for another, Real Madrid have a buyback clause to sign him back from the Lariani.

Marotta Coy On Nico Paz To Inter Milan Links

Inter Milan President Beppe Marotta said that the links between his club and Nico Paz are “rumours are I read about in the media.”

“First of all, we have to point out that he’s a player owned by Como. And that Real Madrid have a buyback clause.”

“So it would be quite a difficult path to sign him,” Marotta admitted.

“Secondly, he’s an excellent player,” the Inter President continued. “But we also have to acknowledge that we have a competitive squad.”

“We’re focused on the competitions we have to play for in the next few months,” Marotta said.

“So we’ll get to the transfer market when the time comes.”

Meanwhile, Marotta also gave his thoughts on Inter’s match against Feyenoord this evening.

“The team are aware of how to deal with adversity,” he said. “Like on Sunday against Monza.”

“This evening, we can’t rest on the result from the first leg. We know that the Champions League is competitive.”

“Top teams participate in it,” the Nerazzurri President said of the Champions League.

“We have to have the right respect for it, but also the belief that we can get to the next round.”

Marotta Praises Oaktree “Determination” On New San Siro

Meanwhile, Inter President Marotta also gave his thoughts on the San Siro situation. Today, Inter and Milan confirmed that they’ve submitted a feasibility plan and proposal to but the land.

“There were some minor legaal details that we had to settle between the two clubs,” Marotta said. “And we resolved them.”

“We submitted the poposal to buy it, we’re happy.”

Marotta called this “an extraordinary act.”

“The clubs will contribute to the development of the city. It’s something extraordinary.”

“On our end, Oaktree’s determination was important,” explained the Nerazzurri explained. “They considered it important for us to focus on this asset for the city, the club, and our brilliant fans.”

And as far as the idea of renovating the existing San Siro, Marotta said that “it will be entirely new stadium.”

“It will be in line with the targets for modern stadiums,” he continued.

“In Italy there’s still a gap in this respect with other clubs in Europe. We here in Milan are trying to kickstart something that can also happen with many clubs.”
