Villarreal has expressed interest in acquiring Tomas Palacios, a 22-year-old Argentinian defender. The player reportedly has a keen interest in relocating to Spain for linguistic reasons, which he believes would facilitate his adaptation. However, Villarreal needs to address certain market challenges before moving forward with their offer. The proposed arrangement is a loan with a purchase option valued between 5-6 million euros, which includes a counter-option favoring Inter. Despite a difficult season at Inter, during which Palacios also played for Monza, the club plans to transfer him. Both Villarreal and Rayo Vallecano have made inquiries about Palacios, but each club must first resolve their market issues before presenting an offer that aligns with Inter's conditions. Palacios remains under contract with Inter until 2029, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €4.00 million.
