Ipswich Town has submitted a third bid to acquire Bayer Leverkusen’s Exequiel Palacios, according to reports from Argentine journalist Renzo Pantich. The fresh offer, valued at approximately €30 million with additional performance-based incentives, represents a significant increase from the club’s previous attempts to secure the midfielder.
Pantich suggests that this latest proposal may be approaching the threshold needed to complete the transaction, with the Argentina international described as being on the verge of relocating to the Premier League. The progression of offers demonstrates Ipswich’s determination to bring the player to England as they prepare for their return to the top flight.
Prior negotiations have proven unsuccessful, with Leverkusen reportedly rejecting Ipswich’s second bid, which fell just above €20 million. The German club has maintained demanding valuations, with German media previously indicating they require between €35-40 million for their midfielder, creating a significant gap between the two parties’ expectations.
