Bayer Leverkusen have announced the signing of Exequiel Palacios.
Rodrigo Palacio was widely rumored to be leaving River Plate for Leverkusen and it’s now official as the club announced it on Twitter. Palacios will join in January on a five year deal.
Sporting managing director Rudi Voller had this to say about Palacios on the club’s website:
“Exequiel Palacios is a technically gifted midfielder able to score goals and he has the ability to involve his team-mates. He fits in really well with our team and the way we play.”
Sporting director Simon Rolfe said this:
“We’ve been looking at Exequiel Palacios for a long time and he’s really impressed us. In his last game for River Plate he won the Argentine cup and in 2018 the Copa Libertadores and he was in the final of that competition again in November with River Plate. Exequiel has achieved a lot in spite of his young age. He stands out with his football ability and a remarkable mentality.”
Palacios himself commented on joining Bayer Leverkusen:
“I’m very happy to be able to play for Bayer 04 Leverkusen, for a club that has been home to a lot of players from South America. Bayer 04 have a good reputation here in Argentina. I’m proud to be part of this ambitious club and I’m looking forward very much to the Bundesliga and European games.”

Rodrigo Palacio??!! 🤣😂
However, all the best for Palacios!
I appreciate palacious for holding out for move to Europe rather than go to MLS…..
Another good news battaglia is fit. He was on the pitch yesterday
Allison is the best goalkeeper in the world not because he is skillful or something else but whenever he is in danger of conceding goals he adjust himself so good that he gives very tight angle to the attacker to score goal.Here opposition player needs to be clinical individually or combine well with other players.This tactics should be learned by Argentine goalkeepers too.Always give less or lesser chance to score goal.
Italy u 15 have roped in valentin carboni who have been the best argentine teenager player of the season in this year for lanus….
He should have been selected for the Argentina sub 15 squad….. Just 14 years old jewel…slipped from our hands…now playing for catania calcio serie c youth team
Coudet to join Internacional and will sign Ignacio Fernandez. Beccececce has replaced Coudet at Racing.
Bayern Munich have contacted Sevilla about the possibility of signing Lucas Ocampos.
Bundesliga teams are interested in Argentina U23 player Castellanos, while there is interest from Ligue 1 for Carlos Valenzuela.
Manchester United shows strong interest for Paredes and Lautaro. I don’t think they will join now because both are doing really well with their club, there is no point to go to a new championship and restart the process again. This Manchester team is going nowhere with very old school English football style that even mid/bottom table teams don’t play like that anymore. They definitely need creative players from Argentina, but hard to attract top players from top club, I think De Paul, Alario or Gaich are more realistic options.
agreed. i don’t think any argentine should join United until there’s a significant club overhaul.
His playing style is a bit similar to Demirbay, who is a very good player. I guess they will be in competition.
