The paths of João Palhinha and FC Bayern could separate again after a disappointing year. As the “Telegraph” reports, Tottenham Hotspur works on a commitment of the defensive midfielder to add experience to the squad. The sheet refers to European sources, according to which an agreement on a transfer seems realistic. A prerequisite for a purchase of Palhinha is probably that the Spurs initially hand in a player so that space is created for the Portuguese.

These plans in particular could affect Yves Bissoumera-the 28-year-old is only tied to Tottenham for a year. “Sky” recently reported that the Londoner of Palhinha was interested in Palhinha. The Premier League club would observe the situation of the 30-year-old in Munich, it said. According to the Pay TV channel and the “kicker”, the German record champion is open to a farewell to the professional, who was only committed to FC Fulham for 51 million euros in the second attempt in 2024. According to the magazine, the FCB even hopes that Palhinha’s change is the best solution.
Not only at Tottenham, the veteran is said to have promoted the note. The city rival Arsenal also vehemently tried to serve its service at the beginning of summer and checked the conditions of a transfer, the “Telegraph” wrote. In the end, the Gunners opted for the personnel Christian Nørgaard, the 31-year-old Brentford captain came for EUR 11.6 million in mid-July.
Finding Palhinha and Tottenham together and it can also be found with Bayern, the Spurs would take money for a Ü30 professional for the first time in almost a decade: In August 2017, the 32-year-old attacker Fernando Llorente was brought for 15.1 million euros from Swansea City. Since the 2018/19 season, the LilyWhites have invested 1.13 billion euros in transfer fees – but only in newcomers that had not yet left the zenith of their career behind. An attacker Heung-Min Son could rinse fresh income. The 33-year-old South Korean is said to be courted by Los Angeles FC.
Inter Milan also interested in FC Bayern’s Palhinha
According to the “Sport Bild”, Palhinha should also be a topic at the Champions League finalist Inter Milan (for the news). FC Bayern had received him a year ago just below his taxation of 55 million euros. Only four new additions were even more expensive in the history of the FCB. Since then, the professional’s evaluation has dropped to EUR 30 million due to a lack of season. Therefore, 25 to 30 million euros are now presented as a transfer fee for Bayern to clear budget for newcomers.
When asked about his future, Palhinha said a few weeks ago: “My contract here is still three years. I want to play for this club. But I have to personally discuss with the coach and the sports directors whether I get my chances here. I really hope. But if not, we have to look and find the best solution.” In March he hadn’t given any thought of a possible change.
