Report – Inter Milan Not Planning To Keep Argentina U21 Star Despite Zalewski Sale | OneFootball

Inter Milan are still not planning to keep defender Tomas Palacios this summer despite the sale of Nicolas Zalewski.

Inter Milan only signed Tomas Palacios last summer. However, in his first season at the club the Argentine simply never convinced.

Palacios spent the second half of last season on loan with Monza.

Meanwhile, it has long looked to be a matter of when rather than if Inter would offload the 23-year-old this summer transfer window.

Inter Not Planning To Keep Palacios Despite Zalewski Sale

In the meantime, however, Inter have agreed a deal to sell Nicola Zalewski to Atalanta.

The Polish international wingback departs despite having only joined on a permanent basis this summer.

That means that Carlos Augusto is likely to have more responsibilities in the team as a backup centre-back to Alessandro Bastoni.

Therefore, there could very well be a certain logic to keeping Palacios. This would give Bastoni more backup, and would free up Augusto for the wingback position with Zalewski gone.

Nevertheless, reports FCInterNews, Inter’s plans have not changed with regards to Palacios.
