Inter linked Exequiel Palacios’ agent, Renato Corsi has confirmed that talks have taken place with Real Madrid over a potential move to the Santiago Bernabeu.

“The interest of Madrid has been there for a long time, since the U17 World Cup in fact, so it has been more or less three years,” Corsi revealed in an interview with Spanish news outlet Marca.

“What we have said to the people at Madrid is that they can buy him but leave him at River for six months. The boy has many possibilities, such as playing in the Copa Libertadores final against Boca and winning would see him get the chance to go to the Club World Cup.

“Having played all of that, he would arrive in Madrid in June and would be there to stay. If he goes in January, he would arrive in the middle of the season and we would prefer to start from the start of the season.”
