Fabregas made it clear that Nico Passe would only join either Real Madrid or Como. A transfer to Inter Milan was completely off the table.

Sepp Fabregas, who is in charge of sports-related matters at the Italian club Como, firmly rejected any speculation regarding a potential transfer of the promising midfielder Nico Passe. In a statement, the Spanish coach denied any interest from Inter Milan and outlined the only possible options for the 20-year-old Argentine player.

“Nico Passe will not join Inter Milan or any other club. He will play for Real Madrid or Como. There are no other options. I can guarantee that. We deserve more respect,” said Fabregas. His words clearly indicate that there is no room for negotiation, and that the clubs have already reached an agreement.

The situation surrounding Passe remains one of the most discussed issues in the European transfer market. A product of Real Madrid’s academy, Passe showed mature play in his debut season in Serie A. He demonstrated high technical skills and the ability to influence key matches. Real Madrid considers him part of a long-term strategy, but is not yet ready to include him in the first team’s starting lineup.

Fabregas’ statement changes the situation. Inter Milan, which was actively looking to strengthen its center forward position, now has to focus on alternative targets. For Como, keeping Passe is a priority, with the Spanish manager personally involved in developing the player. It is expected that the two clubs will agree on a transfer arrangement in the coming weeks: either a permanent transfer, a loan with a buyout option, or a hybrid arrangement with the possibility of being called up to Real Madrid.

Experts say that such a clear statement from someone with direct authority is a rare but effective tool in modern transfer negotiations. In a situation where agents and media often distort the truth, a clear statement from someone with direct authority helps to stabilize the market and protect the interests of the club.

Now it’s up to Real Madrid to make a decision. The Madrid management must choose between bringing back the product of their academy, selling him at a favorable price, or keeping him on loan until the end of the season. One thing is clear: the transfer process is nearing its conclusion, and the scenario proposed by Fabregas seems to be the most likely outcome.
