Inter Milan Make €6m Offer For Top Defensive Target But Have A Plan B | OneFootball

These are the crucial hours for the heavily anticipated transfer of Talleres Cordoba defender Tomas Palacios to Inter Milan.

According to Tuttosport, via FCInterNews, the Italian heavyweights are ready to table a €6 million for the 21-year-old.

Independiente Rivadavia are in talks with Tallers to secure Palacios’ permanent switch to the Estadio Bautista Gargantini.

They’ve put forth a €4m bid. Barring a late twist, the young gun should become Independente’s player soon.

Once the Argentine minnows have the deal settled, they’ll aim to sell the sought-after center-back to the highest bidder.

While Inter are in pole position to sign the youngster, they cannot afford to get complacent.

Numerous clubs from Germany, Spain, and England have registered interest in Palacios.

Bundesliga powerhouses Borussia Moenchengladbach and Stuttgart are ready to challenge the Nerazzurri for Palacios’ signature.

However, the Scudetto holders remain at the head of the queue.

Javier Zanetti is spearheading the assault as he sees his countryman as a potentially crucial defensive addition for the future.

Palacios is the club’s top priority, but there’s a Plan B in place.

Inter Milan Leading The Race for Tomas Palacios But Have A Plan B

Barcelona teenager Mikayil Faye has caught the Lombard side’s attention.

Heavily linked with a departure from Camp Nou, the 20-year-old won’t leave cheap.

Inter appreciate the Senegalese defender’s qualities but cannot afford his €15m price tag.

Barcelona’s financial woes are well-documented. Therefore, they’re frantically looking to raise funds from player sales.

Faye is among the club’s most in-demand prospects, hence a substantial asking price.

Nevertheless, he’d only be an option for Inter if the Tomas Palacios pursuit comes a cropper.

Inzaghi needs a new defensive alternative after losing Tajon Buchanan to a long-term injury.

In addition, Francesco Acerbi is not getting any younger.

Despite his age, the Italian barely put his foot wrong in a 2-2 draw against Genoa on the opening Serie A day.
