Bayern Munich have made a breakthrough in transferring João Palhinha from Fulham, as both clubs have agreed to a €50m deal plus €5m in potential add-ons.
This report is according to journalist Fabrizio Romano who has reported this story from the start and has now confirmed the deal.
For Fulham, moving Palhinha to Bayern would be a club transfer record according to Sky news and would be a sizable amount of money for them entering a new Premier League season.
Romano said on Twitter:
“Palhinha will sign a contract until 2028 at Bayern, he’s been pushing for weeks for the deal to happen. Medical to be booked then docs to be signed. Story confirmed.”
Palhinha is currently representing Portugal at the Euros but has not registered a goal or assist despite his team reaching the Quarter Final. He secured 4 goals and 1 assist last campaign and will most likely act as holding midfielder for Bayern.
Many believe that the Portugal national is one of the best defensive midfielders in the world with his strength, passing and switching of play being perfect for a Munich team that struggles with possession.
