After weeks of interest, multiple sources have confirmed that Ipswich have tabled a formal bid for Exequiel Palacios. The Leverkusen midfielder has been attracting interest from across the league in recent weeks, with an opening offer marking a clear intent to get the deal done before the market intensifies. But it remains to be seen whether this opening bid will be enough to tempt a move away. While Ipswich and Leverkusen continue talks, no breakthrough has been reported. Leipzig, Man Utd and Fenerbahce reportedly may still have an interest, but currently the focus is on getting this deal across the line. The arrival of Exequiel Palacios would give Ipswich added depth and flexibility across the pitch. Alongside this, Leverkusen are said to be exploring Miguel Gutierrez with Ipswich likewise connected to Florentino Luis, Julio Enciso and Sasa Lukic. Want to see how the story develops?
