Inter have become the favourites for River Plate midfielder Exequiel Palacios after Real Madrid cooled their interest.

It had been a bidding war between the two clubs for the 20-year-old talent.

However, according to Spanish paper Marca, the €50m purchase of Eder Militao from FC Porto has postponed other big investments for the time being.

Inter have every intention of taking advantage and Vice-President Javier Zanetti has reportedly been working behind the scenes to put them in pole position.
