Bayern Munich Seals Record €56m Deal for Fulham's João Palhinha

The Portuguese midfielder will join the German club after Euro 2024, marking Fulham's highest-ever transfer sale.

Bayern Munich will pay €51 million upfront with an additional €5 million in add-ons.
Palhinha's move ends a year-long pursuit by Bayern, who previously failed to finalize the deal last summer.
The transfer fee surpasses Fulham's previous record sale of Aleksandar Mitrovic to Al-Hilal.
Palhinha has been a key player for Fulham since joining from Sporting CP in 2022.
Fulham aims to reinvest the funds in new talent, including Arsenal's Emile Smith Rowe.
