Overview

• João Palhinha has publicly stated his intention to remain at Bayern Munich and compete for a starting role despite limited playing time and interest from Fulham and West Ham.
• Bayern Munich is reportedly open to selling Palhinha for a reduced fee of €35–40 million, down from his €50–51 million transfer fee in 2024, to address budgetary concerns.
• No transfer negotiations are currently underway, though Premier League clubs have expressed concrete interest in the Portuguese midfielder.
• Palhinha has struggled in his first season at Bayern due to injuries and competition from established players like Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka.
• The player has indicated he would reconsider his stance if Bayern signals he has no future at the club, but for now, he remains committed to proving himself.
