Santos seal deal for Argentine defender from Inter Milan | OneFootball

Santos is close to announcing the first signing of the Vojvoda era. The club has agreed to the signing of Tomás Palacios, a defender who belongs to Inter Milan.

The 22-year-old player is expected to arrive on a one-year loan, with an option to buy. The information was initially reported by UOL.

Palacios came up through the youth ranks at Talleres. He then played for Independiente Rivadavia, also in Argentina, before moving to Inter Milan. At the Italian club, he didn’t get many opportunities and was loaned to Monza, where he made eight appearances.

The defender is 1.96m tall and left-footed. At Santos, he will compete for a spot with Luan Peres, Luisão, João Basso, and Zé Ivaldo. Gil is negotiating his contract termination and is no longer part of the plans.

Awaiting Palacios, therefore, Peixe returns to the field on Sunday at 4 p.m. (Brasília time), against Fluminense, for the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship.

The Alvinegro Praiano is in 15th place, with 21 points, two more than Vitória, who currently sits at the top of the relegation zone.
