Tottenham Poised to Make João Palhinha Loan Permanent

A fixed buy option of about €30–31 million gives Spurs a clear path to keep the midfielder.

Overview

  • Palhinha has featured in all five Premier League matches for Spurs, starting four, scoring against Manchester City and leading the league in duels.
  • Reports from TBR Football and insiders suggest Tottenham have decided to retain him beyond the loan, with the player described as happy in London.
  • The loan includes a purchase option reported at either £27 million (about €31 million) or €30 million, and some reports indicate Spurs could act in the winter window.
  • Bayern signed Palhinha for roughly €50 million in 2024 after a 2023 move collapsed, but limited minutes under Vincent Kompany led to the summer loan.
  • Coverage indicates Bayern would not stand in the way of a permanent transfer despite a likely loss, with Spurs already paying a €5 million loan fee and covering wages.
