Real Madrid to sign Exequiel Palacios
Real Madrid are close to finalizing a deal for Exequiel Palacios according to Marca (via Football Espana). The Spanish publication reports that the deal for the Argentine will be completed after the Club World Cup.
The 20-year-old has been linked with several top clubs including Barcelona and Atletico Madrid but has a gentleman's agreement to join Los Blancos according to the report. He was also on the radar of Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain but they never managed to make a move.

Palacios has a release clause of €20 million and it is set to be activated by Madrid in the coming weeks. They have a 5-year contract ready for the midfielder and are looking to sign him in January itself.
However, Football Espana report that the Argentine might only join in the summer if things do not fall in place. He was a part of the River Plate side that won the Copa Libertadores at Bernabeu over the weekend.
