Barcelona close to deal for Argentine Palacio
Barcelona are close to sealing a deal for Argentine international striker Rodrigo Palacio. The 25-year-old has been tracked for months and Barca have now agreed a fee with his club Boca Juniors for a reported €22million (£14.9million).
The player is one of the most highly-rated players in South America, although there is a stumbling block in the deal as Barca insist they will only deal with Boca Juniors - who own a majority 32.5 per cent stake in the player.
Boca must now negotiate with the other shareholders involved with Palacio - his former clubs Huracan and Banfield, and his agent Juan Paladino.
'We have reached to an agreement with Barcelona for transferring him in July,' Boca vice-president Pedro Pompilio told Radio Mitre.
'But Barcelona has said to us that the condition for doing the transfer is that they want to negotiate only with us, so we have to get in touch with Huracan, Banfield and the agent Juan Paladino because they are the owners of the rest of the percentage of the player.
'We have been in negotiations with Huracan for many months but we haven't reached a financial agreement because they want much more than the $2.5 million that we have offered to them.
'As they have been relegated to a lower division now they want more money than what we had agreed sometime ago.
'The same happens with Paladino. The only ones with whom we don't have any problem is with Banfield because they have a little percentage and they are ok with what we do with the player.'
He added: 'I expect to have all these negotiations resolved as soon as possible because it's a good financial offer for everyone and if we don't reach to an agreement, Barcelona isn't going to wait a long time, they will go out and buy another player. That's what we are trying to make the other parts involved to understand.' -
