Palacio misses out on Inter move, then signs new Genoa deal

Genoa forward Rodrigo Palacio has signed a new deal at Marassi, the club president has revealed.

The Argentine forward was linked with a deadline day move to Inter, but Neroazzurri instead opted for Lazio’s Mauro Zarate.

Palacio didn’t waste too much time thinking about what could have been, and has now signed a new contract with the Grifoni.

Genoa president Enrico Preziosi announced the deal speaking after the informal Serie A meeting.

“We have extended Rodrigo’s contract for another year and have increased his wages,” said Genoa president Enrico Preziosi.

“It is a sacrifice that we have done willingly because the player had been approached by many important teams throughout the transfer market.”
