Fabrizio Romano reported on Monday morning that Ipswich Town were optimistic about completing a deal for Exequiel Palacios after submitting a second bid for the Bayer Leverkusen midfielder.

However, German outlet Kicker has since reported that the Premier League club’s second offer has been rejected by Die Werkself.

The bid, understood to be only marginally higher than their initial €20 million offer, didn't meet Leverkusen’s valuation of the midfielder.

Ipswich will therefore have to return with a higher third bid if they are to get a deal over the line for Palacios, who is reportedly keen on a move to the Premier League.
