During the summer transfer window, Thomas Tuchel called for a recruit in midfield to strengthen this sector which he considered too poor. In the last hours, Portuguese midfielder from Fulham Palhinha was due to arrive in Germany but although he had passed his medical examination, the transfer could not be completed in time. A hard blow for the player who left for Fulham and for Bayern Munich who were therefore unable to recover their midfielder.
This winter, the Bavarian club will once again accelerate to find reinforcement at the number 6 position. And a few days ago, the German press revealed that the trend was not to return to Palhinha who has since extended with Fulham and who especially questions his physical form (the doctors have expressed doubts about the condition of his knee). According to BILD, the German management now wants to attack the Spanish midfielder of Real Sociedad Martín Zubimendi. This summer, Barça came up against the financial demands of the Basque club which demanded 70 million for the 24-year-old Spanish international.
