Laudrup announces Getafe departure

Sevilla Set For Palacio Bid
Sevilla are expected to make a €20million offer for Boca Juniors forward Rodrigo Palacio in the coming days, despite previous reports that he was close to agreeing a move to Barcelona.
I’m still in shock that teams are willing to spend 20 million euros on Palacio. I could understand if Palacio was 22/23 years old that way you are buying for the future but he is 26 the future is now. I don’t think he is a bad player but at 20 million you really have to set La Liga on fire which I don’t think Palacio will.
