There are those who were finally able to join a new club in the final moments of the transfer window – like Randal Kolo Muani, at PSG – but others weren’t so lucky. As often at the very end of the transfer window, there are risks of seeing deals fall apart… and Joao Palhinha paid the price. While Bayern Munich had reached an agreement with Fulham for the transfer of the Portuguese international, the deal fell apart just after the market closed in Germany at 6 p.m. Palhinha had passed his medical examination and had even taken photos with the Munich jersey.
Marco Silva, the coach of Fulham returned to this news, which obviously affected the player. “It was a tough day for him, no doubt, probably one of the toughest days of his life. He loves Fulham, he loves football, he loves being with us, but he had a great chance to go to one of the biggest clubs in the world and he was very close. You can imagine the impact it has on a football player when this stuff happens. He will need everyone’s support.”. Joao Palhinha will have to hang on.
