“I received a call from Inter, but not Real Madrid,” confirmed the agent of 20-year-old River Plate talent Exequiel Palacios.
The midfielder just turned 20 this month and already has two senior caps under his belt for Argentina.
“Recently Francescoli called to ask if I had spoken to Real Madrid about a potential deal, but nobody contacted me from Real,” agent Renato Corsi told Radio El Mundo.
“I received a call from Inter, but not Real Madrid,” confirmed the agent of 20-year-old River Plate talent Exequiel Palacios.
The midfielder just turned 20 this month and already has two senior caps under his belt for Argentina.
“Recently Francescoli called to ask if I had spoken to Real Madrid about a potential deal, but nobody contacted me from Real,” agent Renato Corsi told Radio El Mundo.
“However, I received a call from Inter Vice-President Javier Zanetti to let me know they were watching him and yes we remain in contact.
“I heard rumours about Barcelona too, but they have never contacted me. It’s worth noting that Palacios does not have an EU passport and cannot get hold of one.
“After the game against Gremio, we spoke to Francescoli about raising the release clause in his contract. I told Zanetti that the player won’t leave for the value of the clause, because we want to retain a good rapport with River.”
So far this season, Palacios has contributed one goal and two assists in eight Primera Division games.
