More outside than inside. Yet a sense of continuity keeps hope alive, a feeling shared by the defender of Franjiverde during the recent interview. Helibelton Palacios has been highlighted by Caracol for taking part in an interview with the Colombian radio station. His contract with Elche runs through June 30, and while Elche has expressed a desire to extend the relationship, the club appears uncertain about full terms right now.

Follow in Europe
When asked about his future, Palacios shared a clear thought in his own words: The wish is to remain in Europe. There are possibilities that may arise, and his family has enjoyed these two and a half years competing at this high level. He wants to keep playing in Europe and he is curious to see which doors God will open for his ongoing career.
Do you take this lightly?
In light of the Colombian player’s response, the interviewer observed that Elche likely wants to advance in Europe rather than drop into the Second Division. Palacios replied that there were approaches and conversations with his manager, but nothing had been finalized at that moment. The sense is that discussions are ongoing, and the season will determine how they unfold.
Regarding Jorge Almirón’s interest in bringing him to Boca Juniors in Argentina, Palacios recalls the former Elche coach as someone who has trusted him since their days together at Atletico Nacional. He notes there has been no contact with Boca so far, and he would feel privileged if the club were to consider him again. For now, there are no negotiations and the season will be watched with respect for the club that opened its doors and is a priority in the negotiations. The next steps will depend on how the season ends and what opportunities arise.
flattered
If Boca Juniors calls, Palacios would be flattered at the prospect of a historic club showing interest. He adds that any decision would involve weighing the chances of Europe as well, since the primary desire is to stay in Europe. The ultimate choice would depend on the project and on whether there is a good fit for his career path, after careful analysis of each option.
