Inter Milan intensifies efforts to sign Palacios, Talleres president Fassi confirms

Inter are actively pursuing the acquisition of a defender to provide depth and support to senior centre-half Alessandro Bastoni.

Palacios, 21, spent last season on-loan with Independiente Rivadavia, which can trigger 50 per cent of his registration from December.

Fassi told El Mesa Del Futbol: “We are negotiating with Independiente Rivadavia the transfer of Tomás Palacios to Italy.

“There is also an option in Germany.”
