According to Tyc reporter Germán García Grova, the Russian Premier League team Zenit is interested in Palacios.

The reporter wrote: "Zenit has started the transfer negotiations for Palacios, and Inter Milan prefers permanent sales rather than external rent."

"Santos insists on the offer of loan + selective buyout, but Palacios is not convinced of returning to South American football. His future will be finalized within a few hours."
