The Bundesliga team have rekindled their long-standing interest in the Portuguese midfielder, with personal problems not expecting to cause a problem, if a fee can be agreed upon between the two teams. The Portuguese international is currently on duty for his country in Euro 2024 and is still thought to desire the move to Munich following the collapse of the deal last summer, despite the player having a medical. Fulham were unable to sign a replacement, so the deal fell through, with the player remaining at Craven Cottage.
What Palhinha Can Bring to Bayern Munich
Palhinha is a brilliant screen in front of the defence and reads danger better than most. He is comfortable receiving the ball and is adept at keeping the play ticking over. He organises his teammates well and will bring more leadership to the Bayern midfield, which will be vital as Vincent Kompany‘s men look to win back the Bundesliga title.
