In this situation, many players would have refused to play to try and force the move, but Palhinha, who is described as a “defensive midfield monster“, remained professional with the Cottagers, going on to play 36 matches in all competitions as Marco Silva’s side finished 13th in the Premier League in 2023/24.

Palhinha’s expected arrival in Munich will certainly excite Bayern fans, as he’ll strengthen an already stacked midfield department that includes Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka and Aleksandar Pavlovic.

However, Fabrizio Romano revealed on July 1 that Kimmich will be assessing options over his future once the Euros is over, the Italian journalist hinting that the Premier League could be a destination for the 29-year-old, so Bayern’s move for Palhinha could be a safety net transfer should Kimmich depart this summer.
