Ipswich sign Argentina World Cup winner Palacios

Ipswich Town have completed the signing of Argentina midfielder Exequiel Palacios, marking a historic moment as the club’s first World Cup winner.

Palacios, who played a key role in Argentina’s 2022 World Cup campaign, has earned a reputation for his composure and work rate in midfield.

The 28‑year‑old moved to the East Anglian club from Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen, where he had established himself in the German top flight.

His arrival is seen as a boost for Ipswich’s midfield options, adding international experience and a proven winning pedigree to the squad.

Palacios will join the club ahead of the new season, where he is expected to compete for a regular place and help the team in their campaign across domestic competitions.
