In an interview with Trivela, Bayer Leverkusen's Exequiel Palacios cut a calm figure despite the various changes in personnel at the club.

"The transfer window is open and there's plenty of time, but I'm relaxed, training and preparing for the start of the Bundesliga.

My mind is now on Leverkusen. We'll see what happens later," said the midfielder, when speaking to the Brazilian sports outlet. 

On a personal note, the 26-year-old highlighted that he would love to return to River Plate where his senior career first blossomed.

"I always dream of returning to River. But right now my mind is on Leverkusen, in Europe, I'm not thinking about going back.

“I have friends at the club [River Plate], and I keep following them,” the Argentinean explained with a smile. 

Palacios spent 5 years at ‘Los Millonarios’ before joining Die Werkself for a reported €21.5million fee in 2020.
