Overview
- On loan from Bayern, João Palhinha has featured in every league match for Spurs so far, starting most, scoring against Manchester City and impressing with his ball‑winning.
- Multiple reports say Tottenham intend to keep him permanently and could move to activate the option as early as the January window.
- The buy option is widely reported at about £27m/€30m, while SPORT1 cites Sky as putting it at €25m guaranteed plus potential add‑ons.
- Transfer reporter Ben Jacobs says Palhinha wants to stay in London and insisted on a clear purchase pathway when agreeing the loan.
- Bayern paid roughly €50–51m in 2024 but, after a sparse first season under Vincent Kompany, accepted a €5m loan with Spurs covering wages and are now open to a sale.
