Move Collapsed on Transfer Deadline Day
According to reports, Fulham are still aiming to sell midfielder Joao Palhinha to Bayern Munich despite him recently signing a new contract. The Portuguese star was set to join the Bundesliga giants on transfer deadline day, but the move fell through.
Palhinha's Debut with Bayern Potentially Delayed
The 28-year-old was reportedly at Bayern and even posed with a club shirt, but Fulham could not secure a replacement in time, with Manchester United's Scott McTominay rumored to be the favorite for arrival at Craven Cottage. As a result, Fulham had to cancel Palhinha's transfer.
Bayern Still Interested in Palhinha
Despite the setback, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claims that Bayern still intends to sign Palhinha and plans to make a move for him in January. Romano suggests that the midfielder's new contract played a crucial role after the deadline day drama. Moreover, Fulham is reportedly planning to sell Palhinha for a "huge fee" next summer.
Bayern Manager Sees Need for Squad Strengthening
Bayern manager Thomas Tuchel believes his squad is still "thin," even with the arrivals of high-profile stars like Harry Kane, Kim Min-jae, and Konrad Laimer. Tuchel has not ruled out the possibility of returning for Palhinha in the future, stating that he has no opinion on the matter for now.
Palhinha's Agent Brother Optimistic about Future Move
Palhinha's agent brother, Goncalo, remains optimistic about the potential transfer, describing it as "postponed" rather than canceled. He expressed his pride in his brother and the player he represents.
Palhinha Focused on Fulham
Following the signing of his new contract, Palhinha expressed his happiness and commitment to Fulham. He emphasized his respect for the club, fans, and everyone involved, stating that he is ready to start afresh and achieve good things.
