Tomas Palacios at Inter Milan: medical visits over, signing postpone to Tuesday
The final details between the Nerazzurri and Independiente Rivadavia are still under review
Tomas Palacios, the 2003-class defender, who arrived in Milan on Sunday morning, first made his medical tests at CONI (Italian Olympic Games Committee) and then obtained a medical certificate.
Now the last step is missing, that of the signature on the five-year contract, which postpone to Tuesday.
They need to fix some details related to commissions.
But there is no doubt about the success of the deal, after the medical visits held today.
The Nerazzurri reached a final deal with Independiente Rivadavia on Friday to close at €6.5 million (£5.5 million), without any percentage on future resale.
The player had been leaving Rivadavia for days, returning to Buenos Aires and he was waiting of the white smoke between the clubs.
In recent days had rejected offers from Germany and England, his idea has always been clear: since the beginning he wanted only Inter Milan.
That's why he decided to board a plane that would take him to Milan even before the final green light between the two clubs.
Simone Inzaghi was also happy, having long ago declared the need to have a defender in view of Buchanan’s injury.
Palacios, who boasts the highest percentage of defensive duels won in the Argentine championship and is the centre-back that has tried the most dribbling in the world according to Data MB.
According to the plan of Simone Inzaghi he should become the deputy of Bastoni.
