The Argentine defender, who arrived in Nerazzurro at the end of the summer transfer market, is still waiting to make his debut.
Coming to Inter Milan at the end of last summer transfer market, Tomas Palacios has not yet made his debut with the Nerazzurri.
The Argentine defender is working hard at Appiano Gentile to get used to the new Italian reality as soon as possible and to learn the game rules of Simone Inzaghi, aware that he needs time before he can become a credible alternative.
The management project was clear: invest in a young (class of 2003) with quality and potential, in the wake of what was done with Bisseck.
In short, as the Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport recalls, Palacios remains a player on whom Inter Milan wants to bet.
"The operation by which Inter Milan led to Milano Palacios remembers the purchase of Bisseck: young man with good hopes found in a league less followed than the top, early competition and disbursement anyway not cheap.
The German central had been caught by Aarhus, the Superligæn (1st Division Danish), and paid 7 million euros (£5.8 million). Not a few for an unknown.
The investment, however, with time (and not even too much) has proved to be successful: after the period of acclimatization, Bisseck today represents a more than valid alternative to the owners of Simone Inzaghi.
The hope is that it can also go for Palacios, whose purchase could become even more expensive than that of the German: 6.5 million euros (£5.4 million) fixed part, another 4.5 million euros (£3.7 million) possible bonus for a total of 11 million euros (£9.2 million).
In the end, everything went according to plan and Palacios reached Milan to become a column of the Inter Milan of the future".
"In the Argentine Primera Division, despite being born in 2003, Tomas has already collected 22 appearances showing that he can become the perfect alter ego of Bastoni (and Bisseck): impressive physique, left-footed, skilled in air play, powerful and... technical.
Very much, and for a very precise reason: he started to play football as a child, at just 3 years old, but he does it as an attacker or alternatively as an attacking midfielder.
Last year in the Primera Division, Palacios played 15 times.
But there is a negative figure: 7 yellow cards, almost one every two games.
Appearance, this exaggerated aggressiveness, on which Simone Inzaghi will be working. And maybe, once refined, he can really debut with Inter Milan".
