Last summer, Bayern Munich long thought about snatching João Palhinha from the clutches of Fulham for a check for €65 million. While an agreement had been mentioned between the two parties, the transfer did not take place and the Portuguese international (24 caps, 2 goals) remained at the dock. Six months later, the 28-year-old remains in the sights of the reigning German champion, according to the comments made by his sporting director Christoph Freund. “Of course he’s still on our radar.”he declared during an interview with BILD last November.
But this season, the Recorder has to deal with a defense that is stacked with injuries. In this sense, the Munich team which wishes to favor this sector, with a potential arrival of Raphaël Varane, does not intend to do anything crazy for the Lusitanian midfielder. Thus, the German media adds that Bayern Munich plans to revise its price downwards, especially since the main interested party has been very irregular since the resumption in August. It remains to be seen whether the Cottagers will agree to part with him even though he had immediately extended his contract alongside his aborted transfer to Germany.
