The River Plate star, Exequiel Palacios, is in the grip of European football giants: Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Inter, Roma and Manchester United. But the agent of the Argentine player told the media, Palacios is likely to dock at Real's Bernabeu headquarters.

Palacios is expected to play a beautiful game when he goes down to strengthen the River Plate against Boca Junior in the final of the Libertadores Cup at the Bernabeu Stadium on Sunday 9 December 2018. At that time, talent guides from a number of teams will witness it including Real, Barcelona and Manchester United. However, Renato Corsi, as the agent of Palacios, believes that his client prefers to play for Los Blancos.

The Libertadores Cup second leg final was forced to move out of Latin America because in the previous match which ended 2-2 a riot caused a number of Boca players to be injured because the bus they were riding in was attacked by River supporters.

"We received many calls from Inter, Roma, Wolfsburg," Corsi told Spanish newspaper US . "A lot of clubs showed interest but one that really was passionate about Palacios, Real Madrid." He added, Real Madrid had truly merged with him and Palacios.

At present, a number of reports say, Real are looking for a player as a substitute for the Ballon d'Or winner, Luka Modric. The Croatian star expires in the next season. For that, Real are eyeing Palacios as a substitute for the role in the midfield position.

Corsi explained to the media as quoted by the Daily Mail , the 20-year-old player would use the final of the Libertadores Cup as a place to prove a player who deserves a white costume (Real Madrid).
