Career

No transfer history

Exequiel Palacios is Leverkusen's Silver Engine. Since arriving from River Plate in early 2020, he has spent over four seasons at the club, establishing himself as a long-term fixture in the squad. He remains a vital tactical component, providing the work rate necessary for a high-functioning midfield unit.

With seven appearances and 275 minutes on the pitch, he is maintaining a consistent level of performance. His standout Dribbling dimension is his primary weapon, offering the Balance required to transition play under pressure. As a specialist Engine, he was a main card in two of his seven outings this season. While he is searching for his first goal or assist in his last five matches, his contribution is measured by his relentless graft, with his reliability rating currently on an upward trajectory as he settles into the campaign.

With a market value of €30M and a downward trend, the Stakes are high for the upcoming fixtures. Maintaining his high Intensity in the middle of the park will be crucial for Palacios to reverse that valuation trend and help secure results during the season finale.
