Overview

• Tottenham and Bayern Munich have negotiated a season-long loan for Palhinha that includes a non-mandatory buy option clause.
• Palhinha made just six Bundesliga starts in 2024/25 as fitness issues and competition limited his playing time under Vincent Kompany.
• Spurs have agreed personal terms with the midfielder and will cover his salary throughout the loan period.
• Bayern view the temporary transfer as a way to free up squad space and budget for further summer reinforcements.
• The move fits Thomas Frank’s strategy of reinforcing squad depth following Tottenham’s Europa League victory and Champions League qualification.
