Reports in Spain are claiming that Argentine sensation Exequiel Palacios is close to a move to La Liga giants Real Madrid.
According to TYC Sports (via Marca), the Champions League holders have agreed over a €20m deal with the player's current club River Plate.
Palacios, a 20-year-old midfielder, is rated as one of the best young talents to emerge from Argentina in recent times. The player made his senior debut for River Plate back in 2015. He also earned his first cap for La Albiceleste in September of this year.
The reports claim that the player will finish the season with his current club and join Real next June to start a fresh La Liga campaign with the Spanish side.
