River Plate president Rodrigo D'Onofrio has said the club will hold talks with Real Madrid over the transfer of Exequiel Palacios following the final of the Copa Libertadores.
River will play bitter rivals Boca Juniors in the first leg of the final of the iconic South American competition on Saturday, with the two teams then set to meet again in a fortnight's time.
Speaking about Palacios ahead of the contest to Cadena SER (h/t Football Espana), D'Onofrio said there will be discussions with the European champions about the player following the conclusion of the competition:
"The clubs haven't talked yet, but [Madrid's head of PR] Emilio Butragueno will talk to [River sporting director] Enzo Francescoli about the player when all this is over [the Copa Libertadores].
