At FC Bayern, two top transfers are due on Deadline Day: A player from head coach Thomas Tuchel has now been given permission to fly to Munich. A Bayern professional travels the opposite way to the island.
Joao Palhinha should come, Ryan Gravenberch should go: According to media reports, FC Bayern will swap midfielders on the last day of the summer transfer window.
According to “Bild” chief reporter Christian Falk, the Dutchman Gravenberch is already on Friday morning in a charter plane that is supposed to bring him to Liverpool.
The 21-year-old is leaving the German record champions after just one season. It was only last summer that he was signed by the then sports director Hasan Salihamidzic for 18.5 million euros from Ajax Amsterdam – a good deal from a financial point of view, as it now turns out.
Because, according to “Bild” and “Sky”, FC Bayern makes a full transfer plus with Gravenberch. Accordingly, Liverpool FC pays around 45 million euros including possible bonuses. He is expected to sign a contract with the Reds until 2028 after his arrival.
Joao Palhinha on the way to Bayern?
Meanwhile, Joao Palhinha could make his way from the island to Munich on Friday. According to “Sky”, the Portuguese received travel permission from his club FC Fulham in the morning.
However, there is still no green light for the medical check, as there are still some details to be clarified between the clubs. Among other things, the London Premier League representative wants to make progress in the search for a successor.
As the “Bild” podcast “Bayern-Insider” says on Thursday evening, the defensive midfielder and FC Bayern have already agreed on a contract. The salary has therefore long been negotiated. There should also be an agreement on the question of the amount of the transfer fee.
After Fulham initially demanded a whopping 80 million euros for Joao Palhinha, both sides agreed to 65 million euros according to “AZ”. The 21-time Portugal international only switched from Sporting CP to England last year for 20 million euros.
Changes to the Bundesliga must be finalized by 6 p.m. on Friday. For transfers to the Premier League, the deadline is 11:59 p.m.
