Overview

• Tottenham are reported to have decided to keep Palhinha long term and may seek to finalize a permanent transfer during the winter window.
• The loan includes a purchase option variously reported at about £27 million (around €31m) to €30 million.
• Palhinha has featured in all five Premier League matches for Spurs with four starts, scored against Manchester City, and leads the league in duels.
• Sources say the 30-year-old wants to stay at Tottenham, while Bayern are unlikely to stand in the way despite a likely loss on their ~€50m outlay in 2024.
• Spurs paid a reported €5 million loan fee and are covering his wages, and his revival follows limited minutes under Vincent Kompany at Bayern.
