Softfootball understands that Exequiel Palacios is open to ending his six-and-a-half-year spell at Bayer Leverkusen, with interest from both Ipswich Town and RB Leipzig gathering pace ahead of the new season.
While no agreement has been reached with either club, the 27-year-old Argentina international is considering his options as Bayer Leverkusen prepare for another busy transfer window.
The potential departure comes as Bayer Leverkusen continue reshaping their squad following the recent agreement to sign Spanish left-back Miguel Gutiérrez from Napoli, with further changes expected before the transfer window closes.
RB Leipzig have emerged as one of the strongest contenders, with Argentine head coach Martín Demichelis keen to add a compatriot to his midfield. A move to Leipzig would allow Palacios to remain in the Bundesliga while continuing to compete at the highest level.
Premier League newcomers Ipswich Town are also monitoring the situation closely, viewing Palacios as a statement signing capable of adding experience, leadership and quality to their midfield.
