Palacio only wants to move to Spain

Argentinian sports paper Olé claims that Boca Juniors and the player have rejected a formal 14 million euro° offer from Lazio Roma for Boca Juniors forward and Argentinian international Rodrigo Palacio (26).

Although Palacio is not really pushing for a move to Europe, Boca Juniors nevertheless thinks now is the time to sell the player because of his age and the fact his salary of 650 000 euro° is weighing on the club's budget.

I think he's made it pretty clear about his apprehension of joining Barcelona. Perhaps a move to Sevilla (should they lose Fabiano and/or Kanoute) or Valencia (should they lose Villa and/or Silva) might be better options for him. He'll be able to play for a quality club without having to worry about the spotlight and media pressure on him.
