Inter Milan has successfully completed the signing of Argentine defender Tomas Palacios, who arrived in Italy this morning. The 21-year-old center-back, acquired from Independiente Rivadavia and Talleres, is set to undergo medical examinations tomorrow before officially joining the Nerazzurri.
Calciomercato report how Palacios’ arrival aligns with the guidelines set by Inter’s financial backers, Oaktree Capital, who emphasize investing in young talent with potential for future growth. The transfer fee is reported to be 6.5 million euros plus bonuses, a deal that Inter managed to secure despite competition from several German clubs.
The successful negotiation came to fruition following a recent visit by Independiente Rivadavia’s directors to Italy. Inter coach Simone Inzaghi has already spoken positively about the new defensive addition after yesterday’s match against Lecce.
This acquisition comes after Inter explored various options to strengthen their backline, including considerations for players like Mario Hermoso and Ricardo Rodriguez. However, the club remained patient and ultimately secured their preferred target in Palacios.
