Newcastle United is reportedly targeting a summer transfer for Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Exequiel Palacios, according to reports in Germany.

 

The 25-year-old Argentine is reportedly attracting interest from both Aston Villa and us after another fantastic Bundesliga season, according to SportBILD.

 

Xabi Alonso’s team is expected to seek at least €40 million because they are currently leading the league and have a great chance of winning the German championship in 2023–2024. They are hesitant to lose their hard-hitting midfield player.

 

Palacios was a member of the Argentina team that won the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. He has also been a key player in Leverkusen’s amazing run of 32 games without a loss, which has put them eight points ahead of Bayern Munich and makes them the second-most likely team to win the Europa League, after Liverpool.

Palacios is the newest player to keep an eye on in the upcoming months, as both Aston Villa and Newcastle are rumored to be looking for a ball-winning No. 6 this summer. However, considering his performance in Germany this season, I would anticipate more major teams to enter the race.
