Ipswich Town Approaches Bayer Leverkusen to Sign Exequiel Palacios for €30m
English Premier League newcomers Ipswich Town are in advanced talks with Bayer Leverkusen over the signing of Exequiel Palacios for a total fee reported to be €30 million, including bonuses, as stated in a report by Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg.
Palacios, a Bundesliga and DFB Pokal winner with Bayer Leverkusen and a World Cup champion with Argentina in 2022, has agreed to a four-year contract with Ipswich, which will run until June 2030. The completion of the transfer remains subject to final negotiations, and a green light for a medical examination will follow once an agreement is secured.
This move comes after Ipswich’s earlier bid of €20 million was quickly turned down. According to Plettenberg, Ipswich will provide an initial payment of €25 million, supplemented by an additional €5 million in bonuses.
Since his arrival at Die Werkself from River Plate in 2020, Palacios has made 186 appearances in all competitions, with 15 goals and 17 assists to his name.
