Report – Inter Milan & Argentina Center-Back Close To Joining Basel On Loan | OneFootball

Inter Milan misfit Tomas Palacios could soon leave Serie A to join Swiss Super League heavyweights Basel on loan.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the reigning Swiss champions are close to signing the defender.

Tomas Palacios swapped Independiente Rivadavia for San Siro last summer for a reported fee of €6.5 million.

However, a lack of first-team opportunities saw the Argentine starlet make only ten minutes of top-flight action at Inter.

Therefore, he left the club to join Monza on a short-term loan in January.

Finding regular action at the Brianteo proved equally challenging as Palacios made two league starts for Monza.

With the Biancorossi losing their top-flight status, the 22-year-old had to return to Inter at the end of last season.

However, the Serie A runners-up are keen to offload him by the end of the summer.

Though Inter would ideally sell their flop, another loan exit looks more likely.

Indeed, Basel are reportedly one step away from signing the youngster.
