He was one of the big surprises of the European summer transfer window. Tracked by Bayern Munich in the final moments of the transfer market, Portuguese midfielder João Palhinha had already completed his medical examination and even posed with the Bavarian jersey to complete his transfer to Munich. But ultimately, his club, Fulham, decided to block his departure because they had not found a replacement for him on time.
After this episode, the Seleção das Quinas international decided to renew his lease with the Cottagers until 2028, with an additional season as an option. “I am happy. A lot has happened in recent weeks for me, we have heard a lot about my future, but I am focusing on my work at Fulham. I have always been 100% committed to this club, I have everything respect for the club, for the fans”said the 28-year-old in the club press release.
