With several Premier League teams keeping an eye on Argentina international Exequiel Palacios, Bayer Leverkusen is worried about bids in January for their star midfield player.
The Argentine star is attracting a lot of interest from all around Europe, despite having only recently signed a new contract with Bayer Leverkusen that is set to last until the end of the 2027–2028 campaign.
It is not surprising that Palacios’ form is drawing notice because Xabi Alonso, who has used him in all eight Bundesliga games this season, has him shining.
The 25-year-old is being considered by a number of teams, including Atletico Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, but SportSynergy can confirm that England is also interested.
We are aware that after watching him in recent months, Manchester City, Newcastle United, and Aston Villa were all quite impressed.
But Bayer, who are genuinely challenging for the Bundesliga crown, are certain that they don’t want to lose any of their key players in January.
After eight games in which they have not lost, Alonso has led his team to the top of the Bundesliga standings. However, there is still a long way to go, and they currently only have a one-point advantage.
They have had Palacios on file since January 2020.

Since January 2020, when they first accepted him from River Plate, his home country, Palacios has been on their record. He has made 96 appearances and scored 10 goals for his current team during that time.
Argentina’s 27-time-capped player participated in one group match, the round of 16, and the semifinals (each time as a replacement) as part of their World Cup-winning team in December.
