Serie B side Avellino have joined the race to sign Inter Milan defender Tomas Palacios.
This according to Italian outlet FCInterNews. They report that Feyenoord, Sassuolo, Olympiakos, Girona, and Rizaspor are also keen on the Argentine.
Inter Milan are weighing up the future of young defender Tomas Palacios.
The Argentine joined the Nerazzurri last summer. They reportedly paid a fee of over €10 million to sign him.
However, so far Palacios has not exactly become a fixture in the Nerazzurri team.
The young defender received only a couple of brief run-outs off the bench for Inter last summer.
Then in January, Tomas Palacios joined Monza on loan.

The intention for Palacios’s loan at Monza was clearly for the young defender to receive more playing time.
And the Argentine did certainly feature more than he had for Inter.
However, at the same time, it was a difficult environment for Palacios. The Brianzoli were in a spiral towards relegation, and so it was often more experienced defenders who started.
In any event, Tomas Palacios is back at Inter this summer after the end of his loan at the U-Power Stadium.
Therefore, the Nerazzurri have a decision to make about the 22-year-old’s future.
Several clubs have already shown an interest in signing Palacios. Olympiakos, Rizaspor, Sassuolo, and Girona are keen.
Meanwhile, Avellino have identified the Argentine as a potential target. They are looking to strengthen their squad after winning promotion to Serie B.
However, there would be a couple obstacles. Firstly, Palacios is unlikely to want to drop down to the second division. And secondly. Inter would want to sell the defender permanently, whereas Avellino could only afford a loan.
