Palacio To Sign For Lazio – Alberti
South American football expert Jose Alberti is certain that Rodrigo Palacia will join Lazio this summer after the Italian club make an offer to Boca Juniors which they will not be able to refuse.
"I'm almost certain about his arrival at the Biancocelesti," affirmed the South American football expert. "I spoke with (former Maradona agent) Guillermo Coppola who is very close to the Boca president.
"It was him who told me about the existence of an important offer from Lazio," he continued. "With such an offer, Palacio will be sold."
This is mainly due to the debts which Boca Juniors are currently facing.
"They have a debt that needs to be paid and the obligation to blood the numerous talents of their youth sector. A 14-15 million euro offer is something they can't say no to.
"Palacio has been the best player at Boca in these last five years, and if a player does well in that shirt, he can play in any team. He will become a great hero of the Italian league," concluded Alberti.
