THE GOSSIP
Palacios is, however, in danger of seeing his prized gold medal sold off by an angry former partner that claims she needs to raise funds in order to pay the mortgage on an apartment that her ex-husband is no longer contributing to.

WHAT FRIAS SAID
Model Yesica Frias, who first met Palacios back in 2018, has told of putting priceless memorabilia up for sale: “Exequiel told me he wasn’t going to pay what was owed because he didn’t know if he’d get to keep the flat or not. I’m only asking him to sign the divorce and give me what I’m due for the things we did together.”

DID YOU KNOW?
She added on threats to sell off medals and match-worn jerseys: “It’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to auction off everything to pay for the property if I have to. I have some shirts which Exequiel gave me and there’s some other very valuable things like his World Cup winner's medal. Push comes to shove I’d sell the most important things he’s got as a footballer to clear the debt because I need a roof over my head. I try to work but I was with him for five years.”
