Inter Milan outcast Tomas Palacios could reportedly be on his way back to South America in the upcoming transfer window.

According to L’Interista, several Brazilian clubs have set their sights on the 22-year-old center-back.

Tomas Palacios seemed on the verge of joining Santos in the summer.

However, the transfer fell through at the 11th hour as the player sabotaged the move, forcing his stay at San Siro.

As things stand, he has only postponed the inevitable.

Brazilian & Mexican Clubs Keen on Inter Milan Bust Tomas Palacios

Signed from Independiente Rivadavia for a reported fee of €7 million in the summer of 2023, Palacios has barely featured for Inter.

Indeed, he has only made three cameo appearances for the 20-time Italian champions over the past 18 months.

Furthermore, the Nerazzurri even sent him out on loan at Monza in the second half of the 2024/25 season to gain experience.

Yet, his departure from Serie A looks like a virtual certainty after he failed to register a single minute under Cristian Chivu this term.

In addition to his former club Independiente, several clubs in Brazil have registered an interest in his services.

Meanwhile, some Mexican clubs are also in the mix.
