Done Deal – Inter Milan & Argentina Flop Set To Join Santos On Loan With Option To Buy | OneFootball

Out-of-favor Inter Milan center-back Tomas Palacios is reportedly close to joining Brazilian powerhouse Santos.

According to FCInterNews, the parties have already agreed terms for the Argentine’s loan move to South America.

One year after signing Tomas Palacios from Independiente Rivadavia, Inter will offload the 22-year-old.

Despite a failed transfer to Rayo Vallecano, the Italian giants have found a solution for their castaway.

Indeed, they will send him to Santos on a season-long loan with an option to buy.

Though Santos will not pay a loan fee, they will need to splash €6.5 million to sign Palacios permanently next summer.

Meanwhile, Brazilian outlet UOL confirmed the agreement, via FCInterNews.

According to the report, Palacios’ switch to Vila Belmiro is a ‘done deal.’

The Argentine’s exit will free up space for a new central defender.

Furthermore, Inter are on the verge of signing Fenerbahce starlet Yusuf Akcicek to fill the void.

Indeed, talks between the clubs are in advanced stages, with the 19-year-old keen to join the San Siro outfit.
