Inter Milan offers $58M! Xabi Alonso accepts, he has no place at Real Madrid

The excess talent that Real Madrid has in one area of the field could benefit Inter Milan

Xabi Alonso has arrived at Real Madrid with very clear ideas. What he did as soon as he landed on the white bench was to request certain signings to build Madrid in his own image. Florentino Pérez listened to his requests and gave him the resources he needed to shape a balanced squad.

Today, Xabi Alonso can boast of having a competitive and deep squad in every line. However, in the attacking midfield, the quality is so high that it is starting to become an issue to address. There, four players are fighting for a single spot, all with arguments to be starters.

More competition in Real Madrid's attacking midfield

Arda, Bellingham, Brahim, and Mastantuono are the names dominating the attacking midfield. All four possess tremendous talent, which makes every line-up a strategic decision. The situation could become even more delicate next season, since the performance Nico Paz is showing in Italy can't be overlooked.

Nico Paz has become one of the great sensations of Serie A. At Como, he is the true star and has had a spectacular start to the season. He already has four goals and four assists, keeping up the progression that led him to be chosen as the best under-23 in the league last season.

His return to Bernabéu is on the table. In fact, it seems it would be a highly questionable decision if Xabi Alonso decides not to count on Nico Paz for the 2026/2027 season. Let's remember that the white club can secure his signing for less than €10 million.

Inter Milan solves Xabi Alonso's Nico Paz dilemma with €58 million

Precisely, amid this overcrowding comes the proposal from Inter Milan. The Italian club has made an offer of €58 million for Nico Paz. The truth is that Xabi Alonso doesn't rule out giving the green light to the operation.

Nico Paz's growth has attracted the interest of several major European clubs, but Inter Milan has been the most determined. The Italians know that at Real Madrid, he'll find it very difficult to enjoy quality minutes. That's why they've put a sum on the table that's hard to refuse for a player who doesn't have a place in Xabi Alonso's plans.

Florentino Pérez sees the offer as an important financial opportunity, but also a sporting dilemma. The club will have to decide between betting on Nico Paz's future or taking advantage of his great market value. Meanwhile, Xabi Alonso keeps calm and focuses on the four talents he currently has at his disposal.
