Bayern Munich are in the headlines with a transfer target moving to another club and Fulham’s Joao Palhinha being targeted by Bayern.
The Portuguese has long been a target for the German outfit, but talks have proven difficult.
Fulham’s Stance
Palhinha is so important to the squad that Fulham placed an asking price of £60m on his head. Man Utd and Barca are interested though Bayern wants him most of all.
This comes a year after Fulham rejected a £30 million offer, underlining the value of Palhinha considering they have him tied down until 2028.
Bayern’s Persistence
The Bavarians also deserve some credit for their stubbornness as we know that they have made several bids.
When he came close to a move, only for it to break down at the last minute (it was this time last summer).
To that end, Bayern seeks to reinforce their midfield with Palhinha’s defensive talents this year.
Potential Outcome
However, Bayern’s late interest in the player means there could yet be a big-money offer on the cards for Fulham to consider.
The transfer saga rumbles on with supporters waiting for the next move.
