Facundo Medina is the most recent defensive target for Palmeiras, whose scouting department is evaluating at least five options. The 26-year-old Argentinian, who is contracted to French club Lens but is on loan at Olympique de Marseille, is a left-footed defender, a characteristic the Brazilian club's squad currently lacks. Medina came through the youth system at River Plate before playing professionally with Talleres.
